Question 1960 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) Tumble home. Tumble home refers to an inward curvature of a ship's hull above the waterline, creating a narrower profile at the top of the hull compared to the bottom. This design feature helps improve stability and reduce windage, making the vessel more seaworthy. The other answer choices are incorrect: Deadrise refers to the angle of the hull bottom, flare describes the outward curve of the hull sides, and camber is the arched shape of a ship's deck.
