Why is it advised to avoid tying the anchor line to the stern?

It can lead to drifting
It may cause the boat to capsize
The additional weight could bring on water
It's easier to steal the anchor

The correct answer is: The additional weight could bring on water

Tying the anchor line to the stern could cause the boat to take on more weight and potentially lead to water taking on board. This could lead to instability or sinking. While options A and D may also be valid concerns, they are not directly related to the act of tying the anchor line to the stern. Option B may also be a concern, but it is not as immediate as the potential weight and stability issues with tying the anchor to the stern.
