AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) FWD 23'-05", AFT 24'-00". This is correct because when 321 tons are loaded 82 feet forward of amidships and 74 tons are discharged 62 feet aft of amidships, the resulting drafts can be calculated using the information provided in the Stability Data Reference Book. The calculations show that the final drafts would be FWD 23'-05" and AFT 24'-00". The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the changes in draft based on the provided loading and discharge information.
