Question 1738 Deck General

The correct answer is C) Manila. Manila line is made from the fibers of the Manila hemp plant, which is naturally resistant to mildew and rot compared to other common line materials like nylon, Dacron, or polypropylene. The natural oils and resins in manila fiber make it more durable and less susceptible to decay from exposure to moisture and environmental conditions. In contrast, synthetic fibers like nylon and polypropylene are more prone to mildew and rot over time. Dacron, while more resistant than nylon or polypropylene, is still not as naturally mildew and rot-resistant as the natural manila fiber.
