Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — 2.9°Starboard

List is determined by the transverse distance between the center of gravity and center of buoyancy relative to metacentric height (GM). Using the given KGT and transverse particulars from the stability manual, the arc tangent calculation results in a 2.9 degrees starboard list.
