D 253.5 ft
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 253.5 ft. To determine the LCG-FP (Longitudinal Center of Gravity from Forward Perpendicular) of the liquid load, you need to refer to the stability data tables, specifically the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book. Based on the information provided in the table ST-0156, the LCG-FP of the liquid load is 253.5 ft. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the value given in the stability data tables for the specific liquid load configuration of the SS AMERICAN MARINER.
