Why might a multi-compartment tank, divided into several separate sealed sections, handle surge differently than a single large baffled tank?

Pick an answer

1. Each compartment holds its own smaller volume of liquid, which can reduce the total surge compared to one large connected space
2. Multi-compartment tanks are never used for liquid cargo
3. Multi-compartment tanks always produce more surge than a single large tank, since each seam adds another point of movement, something an examiner would mark as an unsafe habit
4. Compartments have no relationship to how much liquid can surge at once
