How can erosion be avoided when operating near shore or in narrow streams or rivers?

By operating at high speed
Creating a large wake
Operating at slow speed and not creating a wake
By not using the boat

The correct answer is: Operating at slow speed and not creating a wake

Operating at high speed (A) can increase the erosive power of the water, causing more damage to the shore or riverbed. Creating a large wake (B) can also contribute to erosion by displacing large amounts of water towards the shore or riverbank. Not using the boat (D) is not a practical solution as boats are often necessary for transportation or other purposes. Therefore, the most effective way to avoid erosion when operating near shore or in narrow streams or rivers is to operate at slow speed and not create a wake (C). This reduces the impact on the surrounding environment and helps prevent erosion.
