What essential safety tip is highlighted for anchoring a boat?

Making sure the anchor is of the right weight
Checking the weather forecast
Giving swing room for changes in conditions
Ensuring the anchor light is on

The correct answer is: Giving swing room for changes in conditions

The essential safety tip highlighted for anchoring a boat is giving swing room for changes in conditions. This means allowing enough space for the boat to move and adjust in case of changes in wind, current, or other external factors. Option A of making sure the anchor is of the right weight is also important, but it is not the highlighted safety tip as it mainly ensures a secure hold for the boat. Option B of checking the weather forecast is also important, but it is not the highlighted safety tip as it pertains more to overall navigation and safety planning rather than specifically anchoring. Option D of ensuring the anchor light is on is not the highlighted safety tip as it is only relevant at night, whereas giving swing room applies at all times.
