Question 2167 Deck General

The correct answer is D) a wire rope socket attached with zinc. A wire rope socket is the strongest method of forming an eye in wire rope. It is attached to the end of the wire rope using zinc, which forms a strong, permanent connection. This method is preferred over options like wire rope clamps or eye splices, as it provides the highest strength and security for the eye. The other options are not as strong or permanent. Wire rope clamps can loosen over time, and eye splices, while common, do not provide the same level of strength and reliability as a properly installed wire rope socket.
