AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Tagline. In illustration D045DG of a 30-ton pedestal crane, item "E" refers to the tagline. A tagline is a rope or line used to control the movement and positioning of a suspended load, such as the load from a crane. The tagline helps the crane operator maintain control over the load and prevent it from swinging or rotating in an uncontrolled manner. The other options are incorrect because: A) Hook release cable is not shown in this particular illustration, C) Electric cable is likely represented by a different item, and D) Cargo snaking wire is not a common component of a crane setup.
