A
bottom of the hull
B
center of each upper guide structure
C

D
top of the jack house
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) center of each upper guide structure. When a vessel is floating, the appropriate leg of the person taking the stability test should be aligned with the center of each upper guide structure. This ensures that the person's weight is properly distributed and accounted for in the stability calculations. The other options are incorrect because: A) the bottom of the hull is not the correct reference point, C) the center of each lower hull guide is not the appropriate reference, and D) the top of the jack house is not the relevant structure for this test.
