AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 1.77 feet. To determine the minimum GM (Metacentric Height) required to meet a one compartment standard, you need to use the stability data provided and the information in the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book. Given the drafts of the vessel (FWD 8'-04" and AFT 15'-08") and the items that will be on board, the minimum GM required is 1.77 feet to meet the one compartment standard. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the GM value calculated using the provided data and the stability reference book.
