AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 1311.0 tons.
The one-compartment standard requires the vessel to remain afloat with any one compartment flooded. Using the stability data provided in the reference book, the amount of liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks to meet this standard is 1311.0 tons.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) 1171.5 tons is too little to meet the one-compartment standard.
C) 1503.0 tons and D) 1710.5 tons are more than the required amount.
