AI Explanation

The correct answer is A. To explain: 1. The question states that the DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in Sample Load Form #3, which indicates the vessel is preparing to drill. In this condition, the vessel's stability must meet the requirements for "Preparing to Drill" as specified in the regulations. 2. Per the regulations, when "Preparing to Drill", the vessel must have a minimum GM (metacentric height) of 0.5 feet. The correct answer A indicates the vessel has a GM of 0.5 feet, which meets the regulatory requirement. 3. The other answer choices do not meet the 0.5 feet GM requirement for the "Preparing to Drill" condition. 4. Therefore, option A is the correct answer based on the regulatory stability criteria for the vessel's loading condition.
