AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 2 1/2 inches. The length of the stud used to secure the packing gland is 2 1/2 inches, as per the illustration GS-0012. This is the standard length specified in the regulations and guidelines for Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations when it comes to the design and installation of packing glands on marine vessels. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the dimensions shown in the provided illustration. A 1-inch, 1 1/4-inch, or 1 1/2-inch stud would not be the appropriate size to properly secure the packing gland as depicted.
