Solution

The correct option is A affects its stability
The center of gravity of an object is the balance point around which there are equal moment arms of length times weight. The object can act as if all its weight was concentrated at the center of gravity. Therefore, the position of the center of gravity of an object affects its stability. As one can see in the image that the lower the center of gravity is, the more stable the object.
