AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 3.00 feet.
To determine the minimum GM (Metacentric Height) required to meet a one compartment standard, you need to use the information provided about the ship's drafts and the cargo loading details. The Stability Data Reference Book's white pages provide the necessary guidance for this calculation.
Based on the given drafts of FWD 08'-11.5" and AFT 15'-11.5", the Stability Data Reference Book would indicate the minimum GM required to meet the one compartment standard is 3.00 feet. The other options are incorrect as they do not match the value specified in the reference book for the provided loading condition.
