A "Oars"
B "Hold water"
C "Up oars"
D "Way enough"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) "Oars". The command "Oars" means to complete the stroke and level the oars horizontally with the blades trimmed fore and aft. This allows the boat to maintain its position and heading without gaining or losing momentum. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) "Hold water" refers to keeping the oars stationary in the water to slow or stop the boat's movement. C) "Up oars" means to raise the oars out of the water, typically to prepare for a new maneuver. D) "Way enough" indicates that the boat has sufficient momentum and the rowers should stop rowing.
