AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) KG 24.9 feet. To determine the final KG of all the cargo after loading, we need to use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to calculate the new KG based on the existing cargo and the additional cargo to be loaded. The KG of 24.9 feet is the correct answer because it accounts for the weight and KG of the existing 6422 tons of cargo as well as the new cargo to be loaded, resulting in the final KG of 24.9 feet. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final KG after considering the existing and new cargo. Options B, C, and D do not correctly calculate the overall KG based on the provided information.
