Diagram for USCG Deck General: Which knot shown in illustration D030DG below is a French bowline?
A L
B T
C Q
D W
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) T, which is the French bowline. The French bowline is a variation of the classic bowline knot, with a distinctive loop formed by the working end of the rope. This knot is often used in sailing and boating applications where a secure, non-slip loop is required, such as attaching a line to a ring or a person's harness. The other answer choices, A) L, C) Q, and D) W, are not the French bowline and would not be the correct answer for this question.
