D 266.5 ft
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 228.8 ft. To determine the LCG-FP (longitudinal center of gravity from the forward perpendicular) of the liquid load, you need to refer to the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book and use the information provided in the table ST-0150. The LCG-FP value can be found directly in the reference book for the given liquid load configuration. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the LCG-FP value given in the reference book for the specific liquid load scenario described in the question.
