← HistoryWhich consequence results when improper seasoning occurs during ship planking?
A)Hull integrity becomes acutely compromised✓
B)Rudder response greatly decreases
C)Mast fractures initiating chain failures
D)Waterline fluctuates dramatically with loading
💡 Explanation
Hull integrity becomes compromised because wood shrinkage induces differential stresses, causing planks to split via the mechanism of desiccation stress, therefore affecting overall structural cohesion, rather than rudder/mast functions or buoyancy instability, which relate to alternate systems.
