A out-hauling
B over-hauling
C two-blocking
D chockablocking
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) over-hauling. Over-hauling refers to the process of separating the two blocks of a tackle system in order to prepare it for reuse. This involves carefully disassembling the tackle system, removing any kinks or tangles, and ensuring the blocks and lines are in good condition before reassembling the tackle. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) Out-hauling refers to pulling on the standing part of a line to take up slack. C) Two-blocking refers to pulling the blocks of a tackle system together until they contact each other. D) Chockablocking is not a standard term related to tackle systems.
