The correct answer is A) 2.38 feet. To determine the minimum GM (Metacentric Height) required to meet a one compartment standard, you need to use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the given draft information (FWD 09'-00", AFT 15'-11.5") and the loading details provided in table ST-0026, the minimum GM required is 2.38 feet to meet the one compartment standard.
