Question 1784 Deck General

The correct answer is C) fisherman's bend. The fisherman's bend is a knot that is commonly used to attach a rope to a ring or other object. It is a strong and secure knot that is often used in boating and fishing applications, which aligns with the context of a US Coast Guard Captain's License Examination. The other answer choices, while valid knots, are not the type of knot indicated by the letter "G" in the illustration D030DG. The barrel hitch, timber hitch, and round turn and two half hitches serve different purposes and are not the specific knot being referenced in the question.
