If the center of gravity is near the extreme front position

  1. A reduction of fuel consumption during the flight due to less resistance
  2. A reduction of induced drag
  3. This will reduce the rate of climbCorrect answer
  4. Because of the need to lower the amount of rudder - Supporting decreases the force required to slice - it reduces the stall speed

Explanation

When the Center of Gravity (CG) is near the forward limit, the tailplane must generate a greater downward force to balance the aircraft's nose-down moment.
