AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) KG 25.0 feet. To determine the final KG of the cargo after loading, we need to use the information provided and the Stability Data Reference Book. Given that there is already 4145 tons of cargo on board with a KG of 25.5 feet, and the new cargo is listed in table ST-0031, we can calculate the final KG by using the formula for the weighted average of the KGs. The calculation shows that the final KG of all the cargo after loading is 25.0 feet, which makes option A the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated value.
