Which outcome increased the likelihood of capsize for Viking longships during transoceanic voyages along the North Atlantic?

💡 Explanation

Progressive hogging deformation increased capsizing risk because differential loading along the hull caused cumulative longitudinal bending moment, exaggerating the vessel's response to waves; therefore the deck became unstable, rather than sail reduction which hindered speed, and the hulls were strengthened with careful timber selection.
