What does the term 'bow' refer to?

  1. The rear part of a boat

  2. The left side of a boat

  3. The front of a boat

  4. The bottom of a boat

The correct answer is: The front of a boat

The term 'bow' typically refers to the front of a boat or ship, while the back or rear of a boat is known as the 'stern'. Therefore, option A and option D, which refer to the rear and bottom of a boat respectively, are incorrect. Option B, which refers to the left side of a boat, is also incorrect as 'port' is the term used to describe the left side of a boat when facing forward.
