A curves indicating speed of advance for varying loads and sea conditions
B the vessel's original stability letter issued by the contracting government
C curves of minimal allowable vertical center of gravity
D instructions for the operation of cross flooding arrangements
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) instructions for the operation of cross flooding arrangements. According to SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations, the stability information required to be available to the Master includes instructions for the operation of cross-flooding arrangements. Cross-flooding arrangements are systems designed to equalize the flooding of compartments in the event of damage, which is critical for maintaining the vessel's stability. The other options, such as speed-advance curves (A), the original stability letter (B), and curves of minimal allowable vertical center of gravity (C), are not specifically required by SOLAS to be provided to the Master.
