Deck General USCG Q#1724 (Set 54)

Which splice should you use in order to make a permanent loop in a line?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Eye splice

An eye splice is the standard method for creating a permanent, secure loop at the end of a line. By unlaying the strands and tucking them back into the standing part, the splice maintains the structural integrity and strength of the rope.
