Using the information in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book, determine the danger angle for permanent list if the KG is 23.7 feet and the drafts are: FWD 28'-00", AFT 28'-06".

AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 21°. To determine the danger angle for permanent list, you need to use the information provided in the Stability Data Reference Book, Section 1 (the blue pages). The key parameters given are the KG of 23.7 feet and the drafts of 28'-0" forward and 28'-6" aft. Using the "Danger Angle for Permanent List" table in the reference book, with a KG of 23.7 feet and the given drafts, the corresponding danger angle for permanent list is 21°. This makes option B the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the value provided in the Stability Data Reference Book for the given vessel characteristics.
