70% to pass

Which line would be least likely to kink?

A Braided
B Right-handed laid
C Straight laid
D Left-handed laid
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Braided. Braided lines are the least likely to kink compared to the other line types. Braided lines are made up of multiple strands woven together, which gives them greater flexibility and resistance to kinking. In contrast, laid lines like right-handed, straight, and left-handed laid lines are more prone to kinking due to their twisted construction. The other options (B, C, D) are all types of laid lines, which are more susceptible to kinking under stress or when coiled/stored improperly. Braided lines, with their woven structure, are inherently less prone to this issue, making them the best choice for a line that needs to resist kinking.
