Diagram for USCG Deck General: Which knot in illustration D030DG below represents a double sheet bend?
A F
B T
C L
D R
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) R. The double sheet bend, also known as the double becket bend, is a type of knot used to join two ropes together. In the illustration D030DG, the knot labeled 'R' represents the double sheet bend. This is the correct answer because the double sheet bend is characterized by its two loops, which can be clearly seen in the 'R' knot in the illustration. The other answer choices do not depict the distinctive double-looped structure of the double sheet bend.
