A
the line attached to the tack of the lugsail

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) the aftermost seating. The stern sheets refer to the rear-most seating area in a lifeboat, where passengers and crew can sit. This is the correct terminology as per the regulations and guidelines for lifeboat design and equipment. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the stern sheets. A) refers to a sailboat rigging component, B) describes the emergency rudder, and C) refers to a canvas cover or awning, none of which are the same as the stern sheets of a lifeboat.
