The correct answer is C) KG 28.6 feet.
To determine the final KG of all the cargo after loading, you need to use the information provided and the stability data in the Stability Data Reference Book. With the 2464 tons of cargo already on board with a KG of 27.3 feet, and the additional cargo listed in table ST-0042, the calculation will result in a final KG of 28.6 feet. This is the correct answer based on the principles of stability and loading found in the Stability Data Reference Book, which is the standard reference for US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations.
