Which component pair is included in the proper tail hook configuration along with net and stanchion?

• A. Energy Absorber and Pendant Cable
• B. Interconnect and Pretension Assembly
• C. Interconnect
• D. Pretension Assembly

Answer: (B)

In a proper tail hook setup with a net and stanchion, a complete load path relies on a pair that both connects the pieces and maintains tension. The interconnect provides the necessary linkage between the net sections and to the stanchion, creating a continuous tether for load transfer. The pretension assembly keeps the line taut, eliminating slack so the system responds immediately and predictably in a fall. Together, they form the essential combination that the net and stanchion alone cannot provide. The other options don’t fit this configuration because they either don’t supply the required connection, don’t maintain tension, or represent components used in different fall-protection arrangements.
