What type of knot in illustration D030DG below is indicated by the Letter "E"?

A blackwall hitch

B timber and half hitch

C stopper hitch

D bowline on a bight

AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) timber and half hitch. The timber and half hitch is indicated by the letter "E" in the illustration D030DG. This knot is commonly used to attach a line to a cylindrical object, such as a spar or a pole, and is one of the standard knots tested on the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the knot shown in the illustration. The blackwall hitch (A) and the stopper hitch (C) are different types of knots, and the bowline on a bight (D) is a more complex knot that does not resemble the one depicted.
