AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 280 tons. To meet a one compartment standard, the amount of liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks is 280 tons. This is determined by using the stability data and information provided in the table ST-0048 and applying the relevant stability regulations and principles. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not represent the appropriate amount of liquid loading required to meet the one compartment standard, as determined by the stability data and calculations.
