B FWD 26'-10", AFT 28'-05"
C FWD 27'-00", AFT 28'-03"
D FWD 27'-03", AFT 28'-00"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) FWD 27'-00", AFT 28'-03". To determine the drafts, you need to use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book and the load shown in table ST-0024. By looking up the values in the reference book, the correct drafts are FWD 27'-00" and AFT 28'-03". This is the answer that best matches the given information and the expected drafts for the loaded condition of the SS AMERICAN MARINER. The other answer options are incorrect because they do not match the drafts derived from the reference book. For example, option A has the FWD draft shorter and the AFT draft longer than the correct values, while options B and D have both drafts differing from the correct values.
