The relationship which is similar to port : left is, starboard : right.

Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

When it comes to ship or vessel, the left and right side is indicated by port and starboard. If the ship is turning on the left side when facing forward then it would be said something like this, ‘The ship turned to port.’

It often causes confusion in the minds of crew members as to which side the vessel is facing. And so these terms (port and starboard) are used by mariners instead of left and right in order to avoid any kind of confusion.
