How is a rope braid created?

  1. Using an overhand technique

  2. By plaiting three strands

  3. With two strands twisted around each other

  4. With a single strand looped around itself

The correct answer is: With two strands twisted around each other

A rope braid is created by twisting two strands of hair around each other. Option A, using an overhand technique, refers to a braid that is created by overlapping the strands over each other. Option B, plaiting three strands, describes a traditional braid style that involves weaving three sections of hair. Option D, with a single strand looped around itself, is more commonly known as a "twist" rather than a braid. Thus, the correct option is C, with two strands twisted around each other.
