A 229.8 ft
B 234.3 ft
C 246.8 ft
D 251.5 ft
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 246.8 ft. To determine the LCG-FP (Longitudinal Center of Gravity from Forward Perpendicular) of the liquid load, we need to refer to the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book. By looking up the values for the liquid load shown in table ST-0148, we can find the LCG-FP to be 246.8 ft. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the value provided in the reference book for the given liquid load configuration.
