What is a metal fitting on which a rope can be fastened known as?

Keel
Wake
Cleat
Aft

The correct answer is: Cleat

A cleat is a type of metal fitting that is used to fasten a rope, making it the correct answer. A keel is a structural element found on a boat or ship, usually made of metal, but it is not used to fasten ropes. A wake refers to the trail of disturbed water left behind a moving object, such as a boat or a boat's direction of motion, and is not a type of metal fitting. Aft refers to the rear or back section of a boat, but it is not used to fasten a rope. Therefore, C is the only option that accurately describes a metal fitting used to fasten a rope, making it the correct and most suitable answer.
