Correct Answer: Option B — timber and half hitch
The timber and half hitch is a classic knot used for towing or hoisting cylindrical objects like spars or logs. The timber hitch provides the primary grip, while the half hitch acts as a guide to keep the object aligned, preventing it from slipping out during the lift or pull.
