AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 3.15 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 table of loading items. The Stability Data Reference Book's white pages contain the necessary calculations to find the minimum GM.
With the given drafts of FWD 09'-00" and AFT 15'-11", and the loading information from table ST-0023, the Stability Data Reference Book indicates that the minimum GM required to meet the one compartment standard is 3.15 feet.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the minimum GM requirement based on the provided information.
