A 2

C 4
D 5
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 3. In illustration D041DG, the symbol for the vertical plane midway between the fore and aft perpendiculars is the number 3. This is based on the standard conventions used in ship drawings and diagrams, where the midship section or the vertical plane midway between the fore and aft perpendiculars is typically represented by the number 3. The other options, A) 2, C) 4, and D) 5, do not correctly represent the midship section or the vertical plane midway between the fore and aft perpendiculars, as they denote different reference points or planes within the ship's structure.
