70% to pass

The stability which remains after a compartment is flooded is called _______________.

A immersion stability
B damage stability
C initial stability
D intact stability
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) damage stability. Damage stability refers to the stability that remains after a compartment or section of the vessel has been flooded, either due to an accident or other incident. This is in contrast to intact stability, which refers to the vessel's stability in its normal, undamaged condition. The other options are incorrect because: A) Immersion stability is not the correct term for the stability after a compartment is flooded. C) Initial stability refers to the vessel's stability immediately upon being placed in the water, not after damage. D) Intact stability, as mentioned, refers to the vessel's stability in its normal, undamaged state.
