Question:
This line is strong but does stretch slightly making it a good line for anchors and other general purposes such as dock lines.

This line is strong but does not stretch making it ideal for the control lines (sheets, travelers, etc) on a sail boat.

This line is not as strong and many times you may find this line being used for applications such as anchors or tying up where another line would have been a better choice. But this line does float making it ideal for skiing or pulling a tube.

Choose the answer that is listing the types of lines in the same order as they are described above.


Choices:
A. Polypropylene, Nylon, Dacron (polyester)
B. Nylon, Dacron (polyester), Polypropylene
C. Dacron (polyester), Nylon, Polypropylene
D. Polypropylene, Dacron (polyester), Nylon
