Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: Prevent the sling from slipping out.
Mousing a hook, typically with wire or seizing, is a safety procedure to prevent the load or sling from accidentally slipping out of the hook's throat. This is particularly important when the load is not directly attached or under dynamic conditions.
