Question 2074 Deck General

The correct answer is B) nylon. Nylon is the material with the most stretch among the options provided. Compared to polypropylene, dacron, and manila, nylon has the highest elongation or stretch under load. This property makes nylon well-suited for applications where flexibility and elasticity are desirable, such as in ropes, lines, and other maritime equipment. The other options, while also used in marine applications, do not exhibit the same degree of stretch as nylon. Polypropylene and dacron are more rigid and have lower elongation, while manila is a natural fiber that is generally less elastic than synthetic materials like nylon.
