Question

what type of line should we use for a heaving line?

• double-braided
• nylon because it floats
• three-strand
• polypropylene

Explanation:

A heaving line needs to float on water for easy retrieval and use in marine operations. Nylon has buoyancy (floats), making it suitable. Double - braided, three - strand, and polypropylene don't have the key floating property that's essential for a heaving line's function as directly related to its purpose in marine contexts.

Answer:

B. Nylon because it floats
