A 942,120 foot-tons
B 946,271 foot-tons
C 974,441 foot-tons
D 1,059,885 foot-tons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 1,059,885 foot-tons. This is the correct answer because the maximum vertical moments, including free surface moments, permitted on the DEEP DRILLER at a draft of 60 feet with winds less than 70 knots is 1,059,885 foot-tons, as per the applicable Coast Guard regulations for stability and structural integrity of mobile offshore drilling units. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the maximum vertical moment allowed for the given conditions. Options A, B, and C are all lower than the actual maximum permitted value.
