AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 1912.5 tons. To determine the amount of liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks to meet a one compartment standard, the stability data must be consulted. The white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book provide the necessary information to calculate the required liquid loading. Based on the cargo details provided in table ST-0076, the total weight of the cargo is 1912.5 tons. This amount of liquid loading in the double bottom tanks is required to meet the one compartment standard, as per the stability regulations.
