A rope made of a combination of wire and fiber is known as _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) spring lay.
A rope made of a combination of wire and fiber is known as a spring lay rope. This type of rope is constructed with a core of wire surrounded by a layer of fiber strands. The wire core provides strength and durability, while the fiber layer adds flexibility and abrasion resistance. This combination of materials makes spring lay ropes well-suited for use in marine and industrial applications where both strength and flexibility are required.
The other answer choices are incorrect. Lang lay and preformed refer to specific rope construction methods, while independent is not a term used to describe a wire and fiber combination rope.
