A FWD 16'-10", AFT 21'-02"
B FWD 17'-00", AFT 21'-00"
C FWD 17'-02", AFT 20'-10"
D FWD 17'-04", AFT 20'-08"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) FWD 17'-04", AFT 20'-08". To determine the final drafts, we need to use the information provided in the table ST-0134 and the Stability Data Reference Book. The initial drafts are FWD 17'-10" and AFT 19'-06". The table shows the changes in weight and moment due to loading and discharging cargo. Using the information from the Stability Data Reference Book, we can calculate the final drafts as FWD 17'-04" and AFT 20'-08". The other options are incorrect because they do not match the final drafts calculated using the provided information.
