Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — 990 tons

Analyzing cargo stowage data from table ST-0058 provides the baseline for intact stability and floodable length calculations. Entering the stability tables dictates that 990 tons of liquid loading within the double bottom tanks is mandatory to maintain compliance with one-compartment standards.
