Which consequence results when Viking longship's forestay rope degrades?

A)Mast bends because of compression
B)Sail warps from uneven tension
C)Rudder detaches because of slack
D)Hull splinters due to torsional stress

Mast bending occurs due to the forestay's insufficient tensile strength; therefore *compression* occurs on the mast because *Buckling* begins, rather than warping the sail which involves the halyard adjustments
