← HistoryWhich constraint increased when Viking longship sails experienced frequent rips?
A)Rope production capacity increased rapidly✓
B)Wool available for sailcloth decreased notably
C)Seal oil applications had decreasing returns
D)Forest density and supply varied greatly
💡 Explanation
Increased sail repairs depended on greater rope production because sail assembly and patch-weaving required fastening with rope; textile supply constrains rope, and rope demand influenced forest exploitation rather than changes in seal oil or sailcloth materials, therefore, rope capacity dictates longship sail use.
