AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 26°. The danger angle for permanent list can be determined using the information provided in the Stability Data Reference Book, Section 1 (the blue pages). With a KG of 22.2 feet and drafts of 23'-06" forward and 24'-03" aft, the danger angle is 26°.

The Stability Data Reference Book provides the appropriate table and methodology to determine the correct danger angle of 26° for this scenario.
