← ScienceWhich risk increases when a ship exceeds its roll period?
A)Parametric resonance induces amplification✓
B)Metacentric height sharply decreases
C)Righting arm becomes extremely short
D)Wave cancellation ceases effectiveness
💡 Explanation
Parametric resonance amplifies roll motion if its forcing frequency matches the encounter frequency, because natural stability contributes excess motion during forcing increases rather than resistance causing instability; therefore, capsizing risk rises, rather than reduced stability alone.
