Correct Answer: Option C — secure a line around a spar

A rolling hitch is used to secure a line to a spar or another line, particularly when the load is applied at an angle. It is designed to prevent slipping along the object it is tied to, making it ideal for tasks like tailing a line or securing a hawser.
