Question 2050 Deck General

The correct answer is B) a clockwise direction. Right-hand laid ropes are designed to be coiled in a clockwise direction. This is because the natural lay of the rope, where the individual strands are twisted together, is in a clockwise direction. Coiling the rope in a clockwise direction follows the natural lay of the rope and helps maintain its integrity and structure. The other options are incorrect because coiling a right-hand laid rope in a counterclockwise direction (A) would go against the natural lay of the rope, and alternating between clockwise and counterclockwise directions (C) or coiling in either direction (D) would not properly maintain the rope's structure.
