Which consequence results when ships experienced hogging forces?

A)Decks fracture near mast
B)Rudder post detaches completely
C)Planking buckles amidships slightly
D)Hull splits at keel suddenly

💡 Explanation

Hogging, where the ship's ends droop, causes decks near masts to fracture because the bending moment exceeds material stress limits. The stress concentration causes fractures, therefore deck fracture is correct, rather than keel splitting which would imply vertical shear.
