AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 344 tons.
To determine the amount of liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks to meet a one compartment standard, you need to use the stability data provided in the table and refer to the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book.
The one compartment standard requires the vessel to be able to withstand the flooding of any single compartment. By loading 344 tons of liquid in the double bottom tanks, the vessel will meet this stability requirement according to the data in the reference book.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not represent the appropriate amount of liquid loading required to meet the one compartment standard based on the given cargo information and the stability data.
