A E
B F
C G
D H
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D. The single becket bend is represented by the knot in illustration H. The becket bend is a type of knot used to attach a rope to the becket (or eye) of a block, anchor, or other object. It forms a secure and reliable connection that is commonly used in sailing and other maritime applications. The other answer choices do not represent the single becket bend. Illustrations E, F, and G depict different types of knots, such as the figure-eight knot, the bowline, and the sheet bend, respectively.
