Answer:
The sentence explains a time of struggling when we get nothing at the end and are brought back to our past or near past. Like a boat which is continuously rowed but is found at the same place at the end of the day.

This refers to the dualities of Gatsby and America. Nick is saying he will get into Gatsby's boat, the one that only sailed backwards on the sea of history--into the past to recapture his childhood dreams.
This book was written in 1922 and accordingly it was a time of struggling. In the boat rowing a continuous struggle is required to move it forward, likewise a continuous struggle was required in 1922 to improve the country's situation. But everything seemed useless as the struggle took them to their past to a place from where they had begun.
D) “The chronometer for the first time allowed absolutely accurate charting of the oceans, with all that implied for establishing safe and rapid shipping routes.”
In this detail the chronometer supports the idea that the invention of the chronometer had a significant effect on British and world culture. It describes how it allowed for accurate charting which led to shipping routes becoming safer and faster. This allowed for better travel and trade among Britain and other countries.
Option A says that the countries were transformed, but it is not clear in the passage that the chronometer affected this. Option B simply describes the sun "moving". Option C describes what the chronometer is made of. None of these support the idea that the chronometer had an effect on British and world culture.
