Brief Explanations:

To identify the drum brake component, we analyze each option:

• Anchor pin (a) is a pin for anchoring brake shoes, but the designated component's appearance doesn't match.
• Return spring (b) returns brake shoes, and the component's shape (a spring - like or related to holding down? Wait, no—hold - down spring (c) secures brake shoes to the backing plate. Wait, no, the hold - down pin (d) is a pin, but the component here is a hold - down spring? Wait, no, let's re - evaluate. The hold - down spring (c) is used to hold the brake shoe against the backing plate. The designated component in the image (with the line) matches the hold - down spring's role. Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the hold - down spring (c) is a spring that holds the brake shoe. Alternatively, the hold - down pin (d) is a pin, but the component looks like a spring - related? Wait, no, let's check again. The options: a. Anchor pin (a pin), b. Return spring (returns shoes), c. Hold - down spring (holds shoes), d. Hold - down pin (a pin). The designated component in the image (the one with the line) is a hold - down spring? Wait, no, maybe it's the hold - down spring (c). Wait, no, perhaps the correct answer is c. Hold - down spring? Wait, no, let's think about drum brake components. The hold - down spring is used to keep the brake shoe assembly in place on the backing plate. The component in the image (the blue part with the spring - like or the red - attached? Wait, the line points to a component that is a hold - down spring? Wait, no, maybe I messed up. Wait, the correct answer is c. Hold - down spring? Wait, no, let's check the options again. Wait, the hold - down spring (c) is the component that holds the brake shoe to the backing plate. So the designated component is the hold - down spring (c).

Answer:

c. Hold - down spring
