Which of the following is an example of a multihull?

A boat with more than one hull is a multihull. A catamaran has two hulls and is connected by a deck or frame, so it clearly fits that definition. The other options are monohulls: a sloop has one hull with a single mast and typically two sails (mainsail and jib). A ketch and a yawl also use one hull but have two masts, not two hulls. So the catamaran is the example of a multihull.
