Which outcome increases susceptibility to capsize resulting from overloading Viking longships?

A)Decreased metacentric height occurs
B)Increased sail area develops
C)Shallower hull draft maintains
D)Improved hull strength initiates

💡 Explanation

Decreased metacentric height can occur when Viking longships are overloaded, leading to instability; this is because the center of gravity rises relative to the metacenter. Therefore, stability decreases, rather than options such as strength or a shallower draft causing capsize.
