B 21,297 kips
C 17,700 kips
D 14,400 kips
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 21,297 kips. The minimum total weight when preloading the COASTAL DRILLER must not be less than 21,297 kips, as per the regulations governing US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. This requirement ensures the stability and safety of the vessel during operation. The other options are incorrect because 21,497 kips (A) exceeds the regulatory limit, while 17,700 kips (C) and 14,400 kips (D) are below the minimum weight requirement.
