You are heading into the sea during rough weather. Having too much weight forward can cause your small boat to _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) plunge into the wave.
Having too much weight forward in a small boat during rough weather can cause the bow to dig into the wave, resulting in the boat plunging into the wave. This can be dangerous and lead to the boat capsizing or taking on water.
The other options are incorrect: A) broaching is when the boat's stern swings sideways to the waves, C) rising rapidly over the wave is not a concern with too much weight forward, and D) listing is an excessive leaning to one side, not the issue here.
