What describes a displacement hull boat best?

Most stable and used for catamarans
Sail boats and large ships that will cut through the water
This hull type has a deep V and is fast
Used in smaller boats that ride on top of the water

The correct answer is: Sail boats and large ships that will cut through the water

Sail boats and large ships typically use displacement hulls because they can better handle the weight and size of these vessels. Displacement hulls are designed to cut through the water, rather than ride on top of it like planing hulls used in smaller boats. This allows for smoother sailing and can handle rougher waters. While catamarans and boats with deep V hulls can also be stable and fast, they are not specifically designed for displacement and may not cut through the water as efficiently as a displacement hull.
