AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) FWD 29'-02", AFT 29'-07". This is determined by using the information provided in the table ST-0012 to calculate the new drafts after loading and discharging cargo. The initial drafts were FWD 28'-08" and AFT 29'-05". By applying the changes in drafts from the table, the final drafts become FWD 29'-02" and AFT 29'-07". The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the changes in drafts based on the information given in the table.
