AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) FWD 24'-10", AFT 27'-10". To determine the drafts, we need to use the stability data in the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book, which provides the drafts for a given loading condition. The key information given is the load shown in table ST-0112, and we need to find the corresponding drafts. Option B correctly matches the drafts for the loading condition in table ST-0112, as per the stability data. The other options do not accurately reflect the drafts for the given loading condition.
