Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — pull the tagged end through the eye of the coil

Proper uncoiling of manila line requires pulling the inside end through the eye of the coil. This method ensures the rope is removed in the direction of its lay, preventing the formation of kinks or twists that weaken the line and complicate handling during deck operations.
