AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) FWD 21'-10.0", AFT 22'-10.0". To determine the final drafts, we need to use the stability data provided in the reference book and the given cargo information. Based on the table ST-0089, the vessel loaded and discharged cargo, which would affect the vessel's draft. By using the stability data sheet 2, we can calculate the new drafts after the cargo operations. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final drafts based on the given information and the stability data.
