← HistoryWhich risk increases when a caravel's hull exceeds design limits?
A)Rider plate detachment occurs frequently
B)Center of buoyancy destabilization occurs
C)Hogging or sagging deformation increases✓
D)Frame-first construction problems increase
💡 Explanation
Excessive hull length amplifies wave-induced bending moments, meaning that hogging/sagging becomes more likely because of increased bending stress causing structural deformation; therefore excessive deformation ensues rather than isolated plate failure or buoyancy changes.
