B
511,056
C

D
669,240
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 496,944 gallons. To calculate the net amount of cargo in gallons, we need to use the formula: Net Cargo (gallons) = Barrels x VCF x 42 (gallons per barrel) Given: - Barrels: 12,000 - VCF: 0.0005 - API gravity: 39° Plugging in the values, we get: Net Cargo (gallons) = 12,000 x 0.0005 x 42 = 496,944 gallons The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the formula and the VCF factor. Option B) 511,056 gallons and options C) 650,760 gallons and D) 669,240 gallons are incorrect calculations.
