1490. Using illustration D058DG below, which of the figures protects the stress bearing end of a wire rope from being crushed while forming a temporary eye splice using wire rope clips?

Figure C correctly positions all clips with the saddle on the live (load-bearing) part of the wire rope and the U-bolt on the dead end, preventing crushing of the stress-bearing strands. Incorrect installations place the U-bolt on the live part, distorting the rope, or fail to use a thimble to support the eye. Therefore, only Figure C protects the stress-bearing end.
