What is a transom on a boat?

  1. The flat surface forming the stern

  2. The top deck

  3. The compartment for sleeping

  4. The main sail

The correct answer is: The flat surface forming the stern

A transom on a boat is the flat surface at the back of the boat, forming the stern. Option B, the top deck, is incorrect because the top deck is the highest deck on a boat, often used for sunbathing or sightseeing. Option C, the compartment for sleeping, is also incorrect as this is typically called a cabin or berth on a boat. Option D, the main sail, is incorrect as the main sail is typically located above the deck of the boat, whereas the transom is on the same level as the deck.
