B)Slowed construction relative to costs
C)Superior maneuverability within harbors
D)Compromised resistance to cannon fire
💡 Explanation
The Vasa's design included insufficient ballast, leading to a high center of gravity; this resulted in instability because of impaired Righting Moment. As a result, the ship capsized rather than performing as intended, which would have increased stability.
