Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — 1.97 feet

Analyzing the weight distribution in table ST-0020 requires calculating total vertical moments and dividing by total weight. This standard stability procedure accounts for each cargo piece's stowage height, resulting in a calculated center of gravity height of 1.97 feet.
