Which risk increases when a caravel's hull exceeds design limits?

💡 Explanation

Excessive hull length amplifies wave-induced bending moments, meaning that hogging/sagging becomes more likely because of increased bending stress causing structural deformation; therefore excessive deformation ensues rather than isolated plate failure or buoyancy changes.
