P
C

AI Explanation
The correct answer is A. The knot shown in illustration D030DG that represents a barrel hitch is the O knot. A barrel hitch is a type of knot used to attach a rope to a cylindrical object, such as a barrel or pipe. The O knot in the illustration clearly depicts the configuration of a barrel hitch, with the rope wrapped around the cylindrical object and secured with a half hitch. The other answer choices do not depict a barrel hitch. P, U, and E are different types of knots that serve different purposes and do not match the characteristics of a barrel hitch.
