AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 395 tons.

The Stability Data Reference Book provides the necessary information to calculate the amount of liquid loading required. Based on the information provided in the question, the correct amount of liquid loading required is 395 tons. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the one compartment standard calculation using the stability data.
