Which consequence resulted when timbers met specific constraints in early ship hull construction?

💡 Explanation

Hogging occurred where there was insufficient scantling of the keel and keelson during ship construction. Insufficient materials caused reduced longitudinal strength; therefore, the ship’s ends drooped relative to its center, rather than maintaining a straight profile.
