AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) FWD 25'-09", AFT 27'-02".
To determine the drafts, you need to use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book, which provides information on the vessel's stability characteristics. By referencing the load condition shown in table ST-0082, you can find the corresponding drafts for the forward and aft locations.
