Astrong back
Bshole
Cshore foot
Dbutt piece
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) shole. A shole is a flat block or piece of wood placed under the end of a shore to distribute the pressure and prevent the shore from sinking into the ground or damaging the surface it is resting on. This helps provide a stable and secure support for the shore, which is an essential component of boat hauling and launching operations. The other answer choices are not correct. A strong back is a structural support, a shore foot is the lower end of a shore, and a butt piece is a block used to support the end of a plank or timber, but they do not specifically refer to the flat block used to distribute pressure under a shore.
