D FWD 28'-09", AFT 29'-00"

AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) FWD 28'-04", AFT 29'-05". To determine the final drafts, we need to use the information provided in the table ST-0013 to calculate the change in drafts from the initial conditions. The table indicates the changes in drafts due to loading and discharging cargo. By applying these changes to the initial drafts, we can arrive at the final drafts. The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the changes in drafts based on the information provided in the table. Option A and D do not accurately reflect the final drafts, while option B does not match the final aft draft.
