Which term refers to the rear part of a boat?

Bow
Stern
Port
Starboard

The correct answer is: Stern

The stern is the term used to refer to the rear part of a boat. This is because when facing the front or bow of the boat, the stern is the opposite end, located at the back of the boat. Port and starboard both refer to the sides of a boat, with port being the left side when facing the bow and starboard being the right side. These options would not be correct for the rear part of a boat. While bow is a common term for the front of a boat, it is the opposite of stern and therefore not the correct answer.
