AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) bowline on a bight. The bowline on a bight is the knot indicated by the letter "I" in illustration D030DG. This knot is commonly used in seamanship and boating applications because it forms a secure loop that will not slip or tighten under load. The other answer choices, such as the square knot, round knot, and timber hitch, have different applications and do not match the configuration shown in the illustration.
