The correct answer is A) LCG-FP 271.2 feet. To determine the final LCG-FP of the cargo, we need to use the cargo distribution information provided in the table ST-0163 and apply it to the given total cargo weight and initial LCG-FP. By doing so, we can calculate the weighted average of the cargo distribution to find the final LCG-FP. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculated final LCG-FP based on the provided information.
