What is the aftermost seating area called?

The main concept tested is nautical terminology for seating areas relative to the boat’s orientation. Aftermost means toward the stern, the rear of the vessel. The area at the stern that serves as seating is called the stern sheets, which designates the seating at the back. The front seating would be bow sheets, so that’s not correct. Side benches are along the sides and aren’t specifically the rear area, and footing refers to the base or floor, not seating. So the aftermost seating area is stern sheets.
