Which stability risk increases when uneven cargo loading affected Viking longships?

💡 Explanation

The risk of heeling increases in longships because asymmetric ballast causes shifting center-of-gravity, via the principles of weight distribution; therefore windward sailing performance decreases, rather than rudder erosion or hull corrosion linked to load imbalances.
