B 946,271 foot-tons
C 974,441 foot-tons
D 1,059,885 foot-tons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 1,059,885 foot-tons. The maximum vertical moments, including free surface moments, permitted on the DEEP DRILLER at a draft of 60 feet with winds less than 70 knots is 1,059,885 foot-tons. This is based on the stability criteria and regulations set forth by the US Coast Guard for vessels of this type and size operating in these conditions. The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the proper calculation and application of the relevant stability standards for this vessel and operational scenario.
