Subtracting the height of the center of gravity corrected for transverse free surface effects from the height of the transverse metacenter of a MODU yields __________.

Correct Answer: Option D — GMT

Transverse metacentric height ($GMT$) represents the vertical separation distance between the transverse metacenter ($KMT$) and the vessel's center of gravity corrected for transverse free surface effects ($KGT$), as outlined in standard naval architecture and stability criteria.
