A
a lizard line
B
a chinese stopper
C
a double braided line
D
a chain stopper
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) a chinese stopper. A chinese stopper is a type of rope stopper used to temporarily secure a mooring line while transferring it from the gypsy head to the bitts. It allows the mooring line to be released in a controlled manner, preventing it from slipping off the bitts unexpectedly. The other options are not specifically designed for this purpose - a lizard line is used for a different task, a double braided line is a type of mooring line, and a chain stopper is used for chains rather than synthetic lines.
