D

AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 530 tons. To meet the one compartment standard, the amount of liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks is 530 tons. This is determined by using the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to calculate the amount of liquid needed to offset the loss of buoyancy from the damaged compartment. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the amount of liquid loading required to meet the one compartment standard based on the cargo information provided in the table ST-0051.
