Which outcome results when a Viking longship encounters rogue waves?

A)Capsizing follows loss of stability
B)Structural failure avoids immediate sinking
C)Speed increases due to wave assistance
D)Crew efficiency from fear response

💡 Explanation

Capsizing follows because the vessel's Metacentric Height (GM) becomes negative due to the wave profile causing destabilization. Stability is lost, therefore the ship tips, rather than remaining upright. Other effects are less immediate.
