A
1.38 feet by the stern
B
1.45 feet by the stern
C
2.75 feet by the stern
D
2.90 feet by the stern
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 2.75 feet by the stern. To calculate the trim of a vessel, you need to find the difference between the forward and aft drafts. In this case, the forward draft is 11 feet, and the aft draft is 13.75 feet. The difference between these two drafts is 13.75 - 11 = 2.75 feet, which means the vessel is trimmed 2.75 feet by the stern. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the difference between the forward and aft drafts. Option A (1.38 feet by the stern) and Option B (1.45 feet by the stern) are too small, while Option D (2.90 feet by the stern) is too large.
