Which type of stopper should be used to stop off wire rope?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Chain.
Chain should be used to stop off wire rope because it provides a secure and reliable method of stopping the movement of the wire rope. Chain is a stronger and more durable material compared to other options like polypropylene or manila, which can wear or break more easily. Wire rope requires a stopper that can withstand the tension and potential abrasion of the wire, and chain is well-suited for this purpose. The other options, such as polypropylene or manila, would not provide the necessary strength and durability to safely stop off wire rope.
