Answer: (A)

Understanding how ATA chapters are organized helps locate information quickly. Water ballast is a distinct system that involves ballast tanks, valves, pumps, and controls used to adjust a aircraft’s weight and center of gravity. Because this topic deals with a specific ballast system rather than interior cabin components, potable water and waste systems, or air pressurization, it has its own dedicated chapter. The chapter named Water Ballast is the appropriate place for procedures, diagrams, and troubleshooting related to this system.
