Question 1694 Deck General

The correct answer is C) yarns. In the manufacture of line, plant fibers are twisted together to form yarns. Yarns are the basic unit of line construction, where individual plant fibers such as hemp, sisal, or manila are spun together into a twisted thread or string. These yarns are then further twisted or braided together to create the final line or rope product. The other options are incorrect because: A) Line refers to the final rope or cordage product, not the individual components. B) Cable typically refers to a group of lines or ropes bundled together, not the internal construction. D) Strands are larger, untwisted groupings of yarns that are then twisted or braided to form the line.
