AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 1.5 feet. To determine the righting arm at 15° inclination, you need to use the stability curves provided in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the given vessel drafts (FWD 27'-06", AFT 28'-02") and the KG of 21.3 feet, the stability curve corresponding to these parameters will show the righting arm at 15° inclination, which is 1.5 feet. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the value obtained from the stability curves for the given vessel characteristics.
