Which line is constructed from three braided lines together?

Which line is constructed from three braided lines together?

• A. Double braided line
• B. Nylon line
• C. Polypropylene line
• D. Plain laid line

Answer: (D)

Plain laid line is formed by twisting three separate strands together to make one rope. This “laid” construction means the strands are simply twisted, not braided, producing the classic three-strand rope you see in many boating tasks. The other options refer to different ideas: double braided line is made by braiding two braided components together, and nylon or polypropylene describe the material rather than how the rope is built. So the line created from three strands twisted together is plain laid.
