Question
How did a chronometer help European explorers during the Age of Discovery?
It was a navigational tool used to calculate a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, helping to gauge a ship’s speed.
It was navigational instrument used to measure time and calculate longitude despite weather conditions or motion.
It was a navigational tool used to determine the strength and direction of coastal winds based on a system of levers and pulleys.
It was a navigational tool used to estimate the depth of the sea to pinpoint and notate landmarks across long sea voyages.
I have a feeling is D or B. I'm not completely sure.

Oh wait, never mind I know now. Thank you! :)
