AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) three-stranded, right-handed line. A roundline is a common type of three-stranded, right-handed line used extensively on ships and boats. The "right-handed" refers to the direction the strands are laid or twisted together, which is the standard construction for most common ropes and lines. The other options are incorrect - B) is a description of a small tarred hemp line, C) refers to a four-stranded line, and D) describes a three-stranded, left-handed line, which is less common than the standard right-handed construction.
