Which constraint on ship construction affects the strength using clinker planking?

A)Overlapping planks' fastener spacing
B)Keel timber's resistance to hogging
C)Mast's sail area to hull ratio
D)Rudder's maximum turning angle range

💡 Explanation

Plank overlap demands careful fastener placement due to sheer stress distribution during wave impacts; fastener failure weakens clinker planking cohesion through shear stress overload, rather than keel hogging, because this specific architecture uses overlapping edges.
