• A. Roundsling
• B. Chain sling
• C. Synthetic loop
• D. Wire rope sling

Answer: (A)

Round slings are endless slings made from a bundle of unwoven synthetic fiber yarns enclosed in a protective cover. The inner bundle provides the strength, while the outer sheath protects the fibers from abrasion and prevents snagging. Because it’s a continuous loop, you can wrap it around a load from multiple angles with a soft, non-marring contact surface, and the color-coded outer cover helps you quickly identify the working load limit. This construction sets it apart from metal options like chain slings and wire rope slings, and from other synthetic loop types that don’t use a bundled yarn core inside a protective sheath. Round slings are ideal for delicate or irregular loads where a gentle grip is important.
