AI Explanation
The correct answer is A.
The liquid mud in mud pit #4 has a specific gravity of 1.2. According to the stability regulations, the maximum specific gravity of liquid cargo that can be carried in a tank is 1.0. Therefore, the liquid mud in mud pit #4 exceeds the maximum allowable specific gravity and cannot be carried as liquid cargo.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the specific gravity limitation for liquid cargo tanks.
