B margin hook
C pelican hook
D longshore hook
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) pelican hook. Pelican hooks are a type of hook that is designed to release quickly and easily, which makes them a popular choice for use in marine applications. This is because pelican hooks can be quickly opened and disengaged, allowing for fast and easy release of attached lines or equipment. In contrast, the other options like marginal hooks, margin hooks, and longshore hooks are not typically designed for quick release.
