Question 1995 Deck General

The correct answer is A) N, which represents a stopper hitch in the illustration. The stopper hitch is a type of knot used to prevent the end of a rope from passing through a hole or opening. It is a common knot tested on the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examination. In the illustration D030DG, the knot labeled "N" clearly depicts the configuration of a stopper hitch, making it the correct answer. The other options, R, L, and M, represent different types of knots, such as a bowline, a clove hitch, and a round turn with two half hitches, respectively. While these are also important knots tested on the exam, they do not match the specific knot shown in the illustration, which is the stopper hitch.
