Which of the following is NOT a main part of an arrow?

Explanation:
Understanding which items are actual components of an arrow versus a property that affects how it flies helps you see why spine isn’t a main part. The shaft is the long body of the arrow, the fletching are the feathers or vanes that stabilize flight, and the arrowhead is the tip that does the impact. These are physical pieces you can see and assemble. Spine, however, describes how stiff or flexible the shaft is — a measurement of its flex — not a separate part you attach. It’s a specification used to match arrows to a bow, not a physical component. So spine isn’t a main part of the arrow.
