AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) FWD 29'-03", AFT 30'-00". To determine the final drafts, we need to use the Stability Data Reference Book and the information provided in the table ST-0110 about the cargo loaded and discharged. Based on the initial drafts and the cargo changes, the final drafts can be calculated using the formulas and information in the Stability Data Reference Book. Option A correctly shows the final drafts, with the forward draft at 29'-03" and the aft draft at 30'-00". The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final drafts based on the given information and the calculations using the Stability Data Reference Book.
