B 1,086.6 long tons
C 585.4 long tons
D 435.6 long tons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 435.6 long tons. The reasoning is as follows: The deck load limit is determined by the vessel's stability characteristics, which must be maintained within safe operating parameters. Based on the information provided in the Sample Load Form #1 (Transit), the available deck load capacity is 435.6 long tons. This is the maximum additional deck load that can be placed aboard the DEEP DRILLER without exceeding the deck load limit. The other options are incorrect because they exceed the calculated deck load limit for this vessel configuration.
