AI Explanation
The correct answer is C. The figure in C depicts the preferred method of forming a temporary eye splice using wire rope clips. This method is preferred because it allows for the wire rope clips to be positioned properly and evenly spaced along the splice, providing a secure and stable connection. The other options either do not show the proper placement of the wire rope clips (A and B) or depict a different splicing technique altogether (D). According to the regulations and best practices for wire rope splicing, the configuration shown in figure C is the recommended approach for creating a temporary eye splice using wire rope clips.
