A 12°
B 17°
C 20°
D 23°
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 23°. The danger angle for permanent list can be determined using the information provided in the Stability Data Reference Book, Section 1 (the blue pages). With a KG of 25.0 feet and drafts of 15'-04" forward and 15'-08" aft, the danger angle for permanent list is 23°. The other options are incorrect because 12° is too low, 17° is too low, and 20° is also too low for the given KG and draft values. The Stability Data Reference Book provides the necessary information to accurately calculate the danger angle for permanent list in this scenario, and 23° is the correct value based on the provided data.
