A 21,497 kips
B 21,297 kips
C 17,700 kips
D 14,400 kips
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 14,400 kips. According to the US Coast Guard regulations for Captain's License Examinations, jacking-up of the COASTAL DRILLER can continue if the total weight is less than 14,400 kips. This limit is in place to ensure the stability and safety of the vessel during the preloading or elevating process. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the relevant regulation.
