Question 2111 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) negative. At the angle of loll, the righting arm (GZ) is negative. This means that the center of gravity (G) is positioned to the opposite side of the ship's center of buoyancy (B), creating a moment that tends to increase the list or heel of the vessel, rather than returning it to the upright position. The other options are incorrect because: B) the righting arm is not positive and reflexive at the angle of loll, C) the righting arm is not zero at the angle of loll, and D) the righting arm is not at its maximum value at the angle of loll.
