Question 5009 Deck General

The correct answer is A. To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the concept of a floating jack-up's longitudinal center of gravity (LCG) and how it relates to the frame zero (AF0) position. The LCG of a floating jack-up with a displacement of 15,000 kips being 106 feet aft of frame zero (AF0) means that the center of gravity is located 106 feet behind the reference point (frame zero). This information is crucial in determining the vessel's stability and overall performance. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the given information about the LCG in relation to the frame zero position.
