B FWD 18'-06", AFT 21'-06"
C FWD 18'-10", AFT 21'-02"
D FWD 18'-08", AFT 21'-04"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) FWD 18'-08", AFT 21'-04". To determine the final drafts, you need to use the information provided in the stability data reference book to calculate the changes in draft based on the cargo loading and unloading. The key information is the initial drafts of FWD 18'-06" and AFT 21'-10", and the cargo changes shown in the table ST-0123. By using the data in the stability book, you can determine the final drafts as FWD 18'-08" and AFT 21'-04". The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final drafts based on the given information and the stability data reference.
