Diagram for USCG Deck General: What type of knot in illustration D030DG below is indicated by the Letter "Q"?
A square knot
B clove hitch
C round knot
D bowline
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) bowline. The bowline is the knot indicated by the letter "Q" in the illustration D030DG. The bowline is a common and versatile knot used to form a loop at the end of a rope. It is a reliable knot that does not slip or jam, making it a popular choice for various marine applications such as securing a boat to a dock or mooring. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) The square knot is used to join two ropes of equal thickness, not to form a loop. B) The clove hitch is used to attach a rope to a cylindrical object, not to form a loop. C) The round knot is not a commonly recognized knot name and does not accurately describe the knot shown in the illustration.
