Ropemaker: A hawser that still holds its lay at the end of its year in the loft is stamped for sea use. The hawsers laid in March held their lay when the loft was walked in September, and the loft has been dry and cool since, so they will hold it when their year is up in the spring. So the March hawsers will be stamped.

Which one of the following, if assumed, allows the conclusion to be properly drawn?

AA hawser holding its lay when the loft was walked in September will be holding it, and so stamped for sea use, when its year in the dry, cool loft is out in the spring.

BA hawser is stamped for sea use only if it is holding its lay when its year in the loft is out.

CA hawser holding its lay when the loft was walked in September is likely to be stamped for sea use.

DA hawser that was not holding its lay when the loft was walked in September will not be holding it, or stamped for sea use, when its year in the dry, cool loft is out in the spring.

EA hawser stamped for sea use in the spring was holding its lay in a dry, cool loft in September.
