A 12°
B 24°
C 48°
D 52°
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 24°. 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 22.4 feet and drafts of 19'6" forward and 20' aft, the danger angle for permanent list is 24°. The other options are incorrect because: A) 12° is too low, C) 48° is too high, and D) 52° is also too high for the given KG and draft values.
