  3. A type of boat engine

  4. The back end of a boat

The correct answer is: The interior of the hull below the floorboards

Bilge refers to the interior of the hull below the floorboards of a boat, where any water that comes into the boat collects.

D is incorrect because the back end of a boat is often referred to as the "stern."
