AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 268.1 ft. To determine the LCG-FP (Longitudinal Center of Gravity - Forward Perpendicular) of the liquid load, you need to refer to the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book and locate the data for the liquid load shown in table ST-0098. The LCG-FP value provided in the reference book for this liquid load configuration is 268.1 ft, which makes option C the correct answer.
