B FWD 20'-06", AFT 21'-02"
C FWD 18'-06", AFT 19'-09"
D FWD 18'-10", AFT 20'-05"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) FWD 20'-06", AFT 21'-02". To determine the final drafts, we need to use the stability data reference book and the given cargo load/discharge information. According to the question, the initial drafts were FWD 19'-06.6" and AFT 20'-05.6". After loading and discharging the cargo as indicated in the table ST-0079, the final drafts are FWD 20'-06" and AFT 21'-02". The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final drafts based on the given information. Option A has drafts that are too deep, option C has drafts that are too shallow, and option D has an incorrect aft draft.
