D
FSCL
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) KGL. Adding the longitudinal free surface correction to the uncorrected height of the center of gravity of a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) yields the corrected height of the center of gravity, which is represented by the symbol KGL. The other options are incorrect because: B) KG represents the uncorrected height of the center of gravity. C) GML represents the longitudinal metacentric height. D) FSCL represents the longitudinal free surface correction itself, not the result of adding it to the uncorrected center of gravity height.
