The illustration D030DG clearly shows a blackwall hitch, and the letter "S" is indicating this specific knot. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) a hook hitch is used to attach a rope to a hook or eye; C) a half hitch is a simple knot used to temporarily secure a rope; and D) a bowline is a loop knot used to form a fixed loop at the end of a rope.
