What best describes a Multi-Hull boat?

  1. Used in smaller boats and rides over the top of water

  2. Sail boats and large ships that cut through water

  3. Most common hull, fast through water

  4. Most stable, used for catamarans and pontoon boats

The correct answer is: Most stable, used for catamarans and pontoon boats

A Multi-Hull boat is a type of boat that has more than one hull, meaning it has two or more parallel hulls. Option A is incorrect because it only describes the use of a Multi-Hull boat in smaller boats, while Multi-Hull boats can also be used in larger boats. Option B is incorrect because it only mentions sail boats and large ships, when in reality Multi-Hull boats can be used for a variety of purposes. Option C is incorrect because while a Multi-Hull boat may be fast through water, it is not the most common hull design. Option D is the best answer as it accurately describes a Multi-Hull boat as stable and commonly used for catamarans and pontoon boats.
