Diagram for USCG Deck General: Which letter in illustration D030DG below represents a plain whipping?
A F
B V
C E
D J
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) J, which represents a plain whipping. The plain whipping is a type of knot used to secure the end of a line or rope to prevent it from unraveling. In the illustration D030DG, the label "J" is pointing to the plain whipping, which is the correct identification of this knot. The other answer choices (A, B, C) represent different types of knots and splices, but they do not depict a plain whipping as shown in the illustration.
