AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) FWD 29'-05", AFT 29'-09". To determine the final drafts, we need to use the information provided in the table ST-0092 and apply it to the initial drafts of the ship. The table shows the changes in the cargo load, which affects the ship's draft. By using the Stability Data Reference Book, we can calculate the new drafts based on the cargo changes.
