How can you keep your center of gravity low in a small boat?

By speeding up
By installing a keel
Not allowing people to stand up or move around while underway
Adding more weight to the boat

The correct answer is: Not allowing people to stand up or move around while underway

If you were to speed up, it could cause the boat to tip over or become unstable. Installing a keel can add weight to the bottom of the boat and lower the center of gravity, but it is not the most practical or necessary solution for a small boat. Adding more weight to the boat may also increase the risk of it tipping over. Therefore, the best option is to not allow people to stand up or move around while underway, as this will help maintain a low center of gravity and keep the boat stable.
