B 1.93 feet
C 1.82 feet
D 1.38 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 1.38 feet. The height above the main deck of the center of gravity of the cargo can be calculated using the information provided in the table ST-0039. The formula to find the center of gravity is: (Σ(Weight x Height)) / Σ(Weight). Applying this formula to the data in the table results in a center of gravity height of 1.38 feet, which matches answer choice D. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculated center of gravity height based on the given cargo information.
