Stability depends on center of mass height Steps:

• Identify the base of support for each object on the table.
• Locate the center of mass (G) relative to the base; equal masses mean height determines stability.
• Recall that lower height of G provides greater stability by increasing the torque needed to tip the object.
• Compare heights: the highest G indicates least stability due to easier tipping.

Why B is correct:

• B has the highest center of mass above its narrow base, violating the principle that stability increases with lower CM height for a given base width.

Why the others are wrong:

• A: Wider base and lower CM provide better stability.
• C: Moderate CM height and balanced base make it more stable than B.
• D: Lowest CM ensures maximum stability.

Final answer: B
