AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 2.6 feet. To explain: 1) The COASTAL DRILLER has a draft of 9 feet 6 inches (9.5 feet), a KGT of 39.1 feet, and a KGL of 39.9 feet. 2) The margin on the maximum allowable KG is calculated by subtracting the KGT from the KGL, which is 39.9 feet - 39.1 feet = 2.6 feet. 3) The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the margin on the maximum allowable KG based on the given information.
