A
40,402 ft-long tons
B
42,255 ft-long tons
C
45,593 ft-long tons
D
49,280 ft-long tons
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 49,280 ft-long tons. When clear ice is present on a vessel like the DEEP DRILLER while in transit, the added weight of the ice increases the vessel's vertical moments. According to the US Coast Guard regulations, the presence of clear ice can increase the vertical moments by up to 49,280 ft-long tons. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the increase in vertical moments caused by clear ice accumulation as specified in the Coast Guard regulations.
