D KG 27.2 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) KG 26.0 feet. To determine the final KG of all the cargo after loading is completed, you need to use the data provided in the table ST-0022 and the information about the existing cargo on board. By applying the principles of stability and weight distribution, you can calculate the final KG. The explanation is that the additional cargo loads, when combined with the existing cargo, result in a final KG of 26.0 feet, which is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final KG based on the given information.
