When cutting regular-lay wire rope, what is the minimum number of seizings to be placed on each side of the cut?

Correct Answer: Option C — Three, and more on larger diameter wire ropes

Standard rigging practice dictates a minimum of three seizings on each side of the cut to ensure the strands remain secure. For larger diameter ropes, additional seizings are required to provide sufficient holding power and prevent the rope from unlaying or distorting during the cutting process.
