Context triple: [Alexander–Briggs notation, introducedInPublication, "On types of knotted curves"]

• A. Wirtinger presentation of knot groups
  The Wirtinger presentation of knot groups is a classical method in knot theory that describes the fundamental group of a knot complement using generators and relations derived from a knot diagram.
• B. Conway notation for knots
  Conway notation for knots is a mathematical system introduced by John H. Conway that encodes knot and link diagrams into concise symbolic expressions to classify and study them.
• C. Jordan curve theorem
  The Jordan curve theorem is a fundamental result in topology stating that any simple closed curve in the plane divides the plane into exactly two distinct regions, an "inside" and an "outside."
• D. Dehn surgery
  Dehn surgery is a fundamental operation in 3-manifold topology that modifies a 3-dimensional manifold by cutting out a solid torus and gluing it back in a different way, playing a central role in the classification and study of 3-manifolds.
• E. Smale’s paradox
  Smale’s paradox is a result in differential topology showing that a sphere can be turned inside out in three-dimensional space through smooth deformations without tearing or creasing, challenging intuitive notions of geometry.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
