Question 201Safety & Environmental - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is D) 2. The illustration SF-0022 shows a diagram of a vessel, and the symbol or item number 2 represents the "reference point from which the height of the center of gravity is measured." This is the correct answer because the center of gravity is a critical parameter that must be determined for the stability calculations required in the Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. The other options are incorrect because they do not correspond to the reference point for the center of gravity measurement, which is clearly identified as item number 2 in the illustration.
