The maximum theoretical stress that can be developed on a guy in a yard and stay rig is limited by the _______________.

A location of the boom
B weight of the load
C lifting capacity of the winch
D position of the guy
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) lifting capacity of the winch. The maximum theoretical stress that can be developed on a guy in a yard and stay rig is limited by the lifting capacity of the winch, not the location of the boom, the weight of the load, or the position of the guy. The winch's lifting capacity determines the maximum load that can be safely lifted and supported by the rig, which in turn limits the stress on the guy. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly determine the maximum stress on the guy.
