C 41°
D 56°
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 21°. To determine the danger angle for permanent list, you need to use the information provided in the Stability Data Reference Book, Section 1 (the blue pages). The key parameters given are the KG of 23.7 feet and the drafts of 28'-0" forward and 28'-6" aft. Using the "Danger Angle for Permanent List" table in the reference book, with a KG of 23.7 feet and the given drafts, the corresponding danger angle for permanent list is 21°. This makes option B the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the value provided in the Stability Data Reference Book for the given vessel characteristics.
