D M
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) M. The carrick bend is a type of knot that is commonly used to join two ropes together. In the illustration D030DG, the knot labeled "M" represents the carrick bend. The other answer choices (A, B, and C) do not depict the carrick bend. They represent different types of knots, such as the bowline (A), the clove hitch (B), and the sheet bend (C). The carrick bend is distinguished by its distinctive interlocking loops, which are clearly shown in the knot labeled "M" in the illustration.
