How much of a vertical sling's strength does a choker have?

1. 50%

2. 75%

3. 90%

4. 100%

The correct answer is: 75%

A choker, also known as a single wrap, utilizes only one "part" of the sling to support the load. This means that the strength of the choker is 75% of the vertical sling's strength. Option A is incorrect because a choker does not have half or 50% of the vertical sling's strength. Option C is incorrect because a choker does not have 90% of the vertical sling's strength. Option D is incorrect because a choker does not have the same strength as the vertical sling. Instead, it has 75% of the vertical sling's strength.
