D KG 28.5 feet

AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) KG 26.8 feet. To determine the final KG of all the cargo after loading, we need to use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to calculate the new KG. Given the existing cargo of 3175 tons with a KG of 25.8 feet, and the additional cargo listed in table ST-0132, the new KG will be 26.8 feet. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the final KG based on the provided information and the calculations using the Stability Data Reference Book.
