AI Explanation

The correct answer is A. In illustration D024DG, the face wire refers to item I. This is based on the standard rigging terminology used in the illustration, where the face wire is the wire rope that secures the mast at the front of the vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) H refers to the topping lift, which is a different component of the rigging. C) B refers to the boom, which is a different part of the vessel. D) A refers to the mast, which is not the face wire.
