A Available GM 3.5 feet
B Available GM 2.8 feet
C Available GM 3.8 feet
D Available GM 3.2 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Available GM 3.2 feet. To determine the available GM (Metacentric Height), you need to refer to the Stability Data Reference Book and use the information provided in the load condition table (Table ST-0183). By looking up the relevant data in the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book, you can find the GM value for the given load condition, which is 3.2 feet. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the GM value obtained from the Stability Data Reference Book for the given load condition.
