Question 2177 Deck General

The correct answer is C) Chain. Chain should be used to stop off wire rope because it provides a secure and reliable method of stopping the movement of the wire rope. Chain is a stronger and more durable material compared to other options like polypropylene or manila, which can wear or break more easily. Wire rope requires a stopper that can withstand the tension and potential abrasion of the wire, and chain is well-suited for this purpose. The other options, such as polypropylene or manila, would not provide the necessary strength and durability to safely stop off wire rope.
