70% to pass

A vessel is "listed" when it is _______________.

A inclined due to off-center weight
B down by the stern
C inclined due to wind
D down by the head
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) inclined due to off-center weight. A vessel is "listed" when it is inclined or tilted to one side due to an uneven distribution of weight on board. This off-center weight causes the vessel to list, or lean, to one side. The other options are incorrect because they describe different vessel conditions - B) down by the stern refers to the stern being lower in the water, C) inclined due to wind describes a vessel heeling over due to wind, and D) down by the head refers to the bow being lower in the water.
