Final answer:

The 'tied belt' hanging down in the drawing suggests the element of a knot or hitch shown is a loop, which is a bend in the rope where it crosses itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

The drawing in question is described as containing a feature that resembles a tied belt hanging down, which implies it represents part of a knot or hitch. The correct answer to the question “The drawing below depicts one of the three elements of a knot or hitch. It is known as a:” based on the described features would be B. loop. A bight is a curved section, a round turn involves wrapping a rope around an object, and a becket/sheet bend is a type of knot used to join two ropes together. However, the presence of a 'tied belt' suggests a loop, which is a fundamental part of many knots and hitches and consists of a full turn or bend in the rope, where it crosses itself.
