How should you determine the docking approach?

By throwing a rope to someone on the dock
By guessing the wind current
Determine the wind and/or current direction while stopped by observing which way your boat drifts
Follow what other boats do

The correct answer is: Determine the wind and/or current direction while stopped by observing which way your boat drifts

To determine the docking approach, it is important to observe the wind and current direction while stopped. This can help you determine the best angle and approach to dock your boat safely. Option A, throwing a rope to someone on the dock, may be useful in certain situations, but it is not a reliable method for determining the approach. Option B, guessing the wind current, is not a recommended approach as it can lead to errors and unsafe docking. Option D, following what other boats do, is also not a reliable method as every docking situation is unique and may require different approaches. Thus, option C is the best and most effective method for determining the docking approach.
