AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Pitch. Pitch is the motion of a vessel that affects its longitudinal stability. Longitudinal stability refers to the vessel's stability along its length, and pitch is the rotation of the vessel around its transverse axis, which influences this longitudinal stability. The other motions listed, such as yaw, heave, and surge, affect the vessel's stability in different ways, but do not directly impact the governing longitudinal stability.
