History

Which consequence results when Vikings attempting coastal navigation experience unfavorable 'head' winds?

A)Lee boards minimize leeway
B)Sails allow forward progress
C)Oars provide auxiliary propulsion
D)Keels enable tacking ability

💡 Explanation

Oars provide supplementary propulsion when encountering headwinds because the Vikings deployed oar power to maintain progress perpendicular to opposing forces using manpower rather than sails, therefore offsetting drift, rather than directly tacking.
