A 4.0 feet
B 5.6 feet
C 6.0 feet
D 6.8 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 6.8 feet. The Stability Data Reference Book, which is used for US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, provides the necessary information to determine the KG (vertical center of gravity) of the liquid load for the SS AMERICAN MARINER. Using the white pages of the reference book and the liquid load shown in table ST-0063, the KG of the liquid load is 6.8 feet. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the KG value provided in the reference book for the given liquid load. Accurately determining the KG of the liquid load is crucial for evaluating the vessel's stability, which is a key requirement in the Coast Guard Captain's License Examination.
