B Available GM 4.3 ft
C Available GM 4.7 ft
D Available GM 5.1 ft
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Available GM 5.1 ft. To determine the available GM (Metacentric Height), you need to use the stability data provided in the table ST-0190 and refer to the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the information given in the table, the available GM is 5.1 ft. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the value obtained from the stability data in the reference book. The available GM is a calculated value based on the specific loading conditions, and the correct answer of 5.1 ft is the accurate result for the given scenario.
