AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) LCG-FP 274.6 feet. To determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo, we need to use the information provided in the table ST-0161 and apply the principles of stability calculations. The LCG-FP of 274.6 feet is the correct answer because it represents the weighted average of the LCG-FP values for each cargo item, based on their respective weights. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final LCG-FP calculated using the given cargo distribution and the information in the Stability Data Reference Book.
