AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Available GM 4.28 ft. To determine the available GM (Metacentric Height), you need to use the stability data provided in The Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the load condition shown in table ST-0108, the correct available GM is 4.28 ft. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the value calculated from the stability data.

The Stability Data Reference Book provides the authoritative source for determining the correct GM value for the given load condition.
