A 395 tons
B 530 tons
C 750 tons
D 990 tons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 750 tons. To meet the one compartment standard, the amount of liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks is 750 tons. This is determined by using the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book, which provide guidance on calculating the required liquid load to meet the one compartment standard based on the cargo distribution. The other options are incorrect because they do not correspond to the required liquid load as per the stability regulations and guidance provided in the reference book.
