Question 5038 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 136.38 feet. To explain: Discharging the contents of the 6 and 7 drill water tanks would reduce the vessel's overall weight and change the position of the transverse metacenter. The transverse metacenter height is a key parameter in determining a vessel's stability. The provided information and calculations show that the new transverse metacenter height would be 136.38 feet, making option C the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the new transverse metacenter height after the specified changes to the vessel's loading condition.
