D 2.78 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 1.50 feet. The height above the main deck of the center of gravity of the cargo is determined by the weight and dimensions of the individual items being carried, as specified in the table ST-0002. Based on the information provided, the weighted average of the center of gravity for the entire cargo load is 1.50 feet above the main deck. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the center of gravity calculation based on the given cargo load details.
