Your vessel's drafts are: FWD 27'-06", AFT 28'-02"; and the KG is 23.1 feet. Use the selected stability curves in the blue pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the righting arm at 37° inclination if the center of gravity is 1.8 feet off center.
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — 0.4 foot
Obtain the uncorrected righting arm from the stability curves at 37° inclination. Subtract the transverse component of the center of gravity shift ($1.8 \times \sin 37°$) from the base $GZ$ value to determine the final remaining righting arm of 0.4 foot.
