AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) spider band. The spider band is the band or collar on the top end of a boom to which the topping lift, midships guy, and outboard guys are secured. This is the standard terminology used in the industry and in the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examination materials. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) collar band is not a standard term for this component. C) guy band is too generic and does not specifically refer to the band on the boom. D) pad eye collar refers to a different component, not the band on the boom.
