Correct Answer: Option C — fisherman's bend

The fisherman's bend, or anchor bend, is specifically designed for attaching a line to an anchor ring or a spar. The round turns around the object distribute the friction and prevent chafing, ensuring the connection remains secure even when the line is subjected to constant, heavy, and shifting loads.
