AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 2.0 feet. According to the information provided, the vessel has a forward draft of 25'-03", an aft draft of 26'-03", and a GM (metacentric height) of 3.5 feet.

The other options are incorrect because they do not match the value indicated in the Stability Data Reference Book for the given vessel characteristics and angle of inclination.
