AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above. Kevlar sails are susceptible to damage from several factors when not in use. Leaving them in direct sunlight can cause the Kevlar fibers to break down over time due to UV exposure. Frequently folding the sails can also lead to creasing and weakening of the material. Additionally, washing Kevlar sails with water and bleach can compromise the fibers and lead to deterioration. Therefore, all of the listed options can contribute to the main causes of damage to Kevlar sails when they are not in active use.
