What might cause a roof to sag between trusses according to a home inspection?

Thin sheathing.
Undersized flashings.
Attic condensation.
High roof pitch.

The correct answer is: Thin sheathing.

Thin sheathing may cause a roof to sag between trusses because the sheathing provides structural support to the roof. If the sheathing is too thin or inadequate, it may not be able to bear the weight of the roof properly, leading to sagging. This can compromise the integrity of the roof structure and potentially lead to further issues. Option B, undersized flashings, is incorrect as flashings are components used to prevent water penetration around roof openings or joints and are not directly related to the structural integrity of the roof causing it to sag. Option C, attic condensation, is incorrect as while attic condensation can lead to other issues such as mold growth or wood rot, it is not a direct cause of roof sagging between trusses. Option D, high roof pitch, is incorrect because a high roof pitch refers to the slope of the roof and does not directly cause the roof to sag between trusses.
