C

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) use the whip line. The tap on the elbow with one hand is a signal to the crane operator to use the whip line (a smaller, secondary line) instead of the main hoist. This is a standard hand signal used in crane operations to indicate a change in the equipment being used. The other answer choices do not correctly match this specific hand signal.
