A 1171.5 tons
B 1311.0 tons
C 1503.0 tons
D 1710.5 tons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 1503.0 tons. To meet a one compartment standard, the amount of liquid loading required in the double bottom tanks is 1503.0 tons. This is determined by using the stability data provided in the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book, which contains the necessary information to calculate the liquid loading required to meet a one compartment standard for the given cargo loading on the SS AMERICAN MARINER. 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 provided cargo information and the Stability Data Reference Book.
