AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) sewing canvas. A bench hook is a tool used to hold material in place while sewing or stitching. It is commonly used in sailmaking and canvas work, such as repairing or fabricating canvas items like sails, boat covers, and tarpaulins. The bench hook helps to keep the canvas material taut and stable during the sewing process. The other answer choices are not directly related to the primary function of a bench hook. Splicing small stuff, hanging oilskins, and handling cargo cases do not typically involve the use of a bench hook.
