Which knot is used to secure a line to a ring?

• A. Bowline
• B. Fisherman's Anchor Bend
• C. Round Turn and Cross
• D. Overhand Knot

Answer: (B)

Securing a line to a ring calls for a knot that grips the ring and distributes the load so the rope doesn’t slip or pull through. The Fisherman’s Anchor Bend is designed for this exact task: it ties the rope around the ring and forms a bend that locks under tension, resisting slipping in any direction while still untying relatively easily after the load is gone. This reliability on a ring attachment is why it’s the best choice. Other knots don’t fit as well—one creates a fixed loop but isn’t anchored to the ring itself; another relies on a round turn around a post and can slip or loosen under varied pulls; and an overhand knot isn’t intended for securing to rings and tends to jam, making it hard to undo.
