Which knot is a slip/choke knot that runs freely on the standing part of the rope?

The idea being tested is identifying a knot that acts as a slip knot and can move along the standing part of the rope. The running bowline forms a loop around the standing part and allows the knot to glide up and down the rope when the standing part is pulled. It’s tied in a way that the loop remains usable while the knot can slide, making it a slip/choke-type knot that runs freely on the standing part. The other knots don’t fit this behavior: the bowline creates a fixed loop at the end; the bowline on a bight creates a different loop configuration that doesn’t slide along the standing part in the same way; and the clove hitch is a hitch around an object, not a sliding knot on the rope itself.
