Question 1824 Deck General

The correct answer is D) act as a stopper to transfer a line under strain. The rolling hitch is a knot that is used to attach a line to a cylindrical object, such as a pipe or spar, and is often used as a temporary attachment or to transfer a line under strain. It is an effective way to securely fasten a line to an object without the line slipping or the knot coming undone, making it the ideal choice for the situation described in the question. The other answer choices are incorrect because the rolling hitch is not typically used to join two lines of different or equal sizes (A and B), nor is it primarily used to add strength to a weak spot in a line (C).
