C LCG-FP 273.6 feet

D LCG-FP 274.6 feet

AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) LCG-FP 272.1 feet. To determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo, we need to use the cargo distribution information provided in the table ST-0162 and the formula for calculating the LCG-FP. The formula for calculating the LCG-FP is: LCG-FP = Σ(weight x distance) / Σ(weight) Using the cargo distribution information and the given LCG-FP of 272.45 feet, the calculation results in an LCG-FP of 272.1 feet, which is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated LCG-FP based on the provided information.
