During the Viking age, which outcome most directly impacts rope bridge integrity connecting longship fleets at sea?

💡 Explanation

Reduced hemp fiber tensile strength causes bridge failure because hydrolysis breaks down cellulose polymers, therefore the ropes weaken and snap rather than maintaining the required structural integrity under dynamic wave loading.
