Correct Answer: Option B — blackwall hitch

The blackwall hitch is a simple and effective method for attaching a rope to a hook. It relies on the tension of the line to hold the hitch in place against the hook's shank, making it suitable for temporary lifting tasks where the line remains under constant tension.
