B 14,400 kips
C 17,280 kips
D 21,297 kips
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 14,400 kips. The elevating system of the COASTAL DRILLER is normally limited to 14,400 kips, which is the maximum allowable working load for the vessel's elevating system as per the applicable regulations and design specifications. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) 14,158 kips is too low and not the actual limit. C) 17,280 kips and D) 21,297 kips are both too high and exceed the vessel's design limitations.
