AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 1.97 feet. The key information provided is the load shown in table ST-0015. To determine the height above the main deck of the center of gravity of the cargo, we need to calculate the weighted average of the individual item heights, using the weights of each item as the weighting factors. This calculation results in a center of gravity height of 1.97 feet, which corresponds to answer choice B. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the calculated value.
