What can a manual propelling device include?

A set of oars, a paddle, or any other apparatus that can propel a vessel by hand
An electric motor
A sail
A jet propulsion system

The correct answer is: A set of oars, a paddle, or any other apparatus that can propel a vessel by hand

A manual propelling device, by definition, is a device that is powered by physical effort rather than an external source of power. Options B, C, and D are all powered by an external source, making them incorrect choices. An electric motor requires electricity, a sail requires wind, and a jet propulsion system requires fuel. In contrast, option A is powered solely by the physical effort of the user, making it the correct choice for a manual propelling device.
