The SS AMERICAN MARINER is ready to sail with the load shown in table ST- 0056 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the available GM.

A Available GM 5.4 ft
B Available GM 6.8 ft
C Available GM 3.6 ft
D Available GM 4.1 ft
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Available GM 4.1 ft. The Stability Data Reference Book provides tables and guidelines to determine a vessel's stability characteristics, including the available GM (Metacentric Height). By using the information provided in the table ST-0056, you can look up the relevant values in the white pages of the reference book and determine the available GM. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the value obtained from the Stability Data Reference Book for the given loading condition of the SS AMERICAN MARINER.
