AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) I. The illustration D030DG shows various knots and hitches commonly used in the maritime industry. The letter "I" represents a bowline on a bight, which is a type of knot used to create a temporary loop or eye in the end of a line. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) H represents a clove hitch, not a bowline on a bight. C) M represents a timber hitch, not a bowline on a bight. D) W represents a rolling hitch, not a bowline on a bight.
