Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — 40%

Nylon lines possess exceptional elasticity, stretching up to 40% under heavy loads before reaching its critical structural threshold. Exceeding this critical point dramatically risks sudden parting, snap-back hazards, and permanent fiber deformation.
