AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 40%. The critical point in nylon line elongation is 40%. This is the point at which the nylon line reaches its maximum elongation before starting to break. Beyond this 40% elongation, the line will begin to fail and lose its structural integrity. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not represent the critical point of nylon line elongation, which is consistently recognized as 40% by industry standards and regulations.
