← HistoryWhich effect limited longship maneuverability within fjords because of sail deployment constraints?
A)Increased hull hydrodynamic drag
B)High overturning moment risk
C)Reduced propulsive force angle
D)Insufficient turning lever arm✓
💡 Explanation
Insufficient turning lever arm arises where confined waters of a fjord limit longship sail area, decreasing lever age; smaller sails reduce torque, therefore a longship has diminished agility rather than the other options, because they largely affect unconstrained water.
