Upon landing, the front passenger (180 pounds) departs the airplane. A rear passenger (204 pounds) moves to the front passenger position. What effect does this have on the CG if the airplane weighed 2,690 pounds and the MOM/100 was 2,260 just prior to the passenger transfer?

A. The CG moves forward approximately 0.1 inch.

B. The CG moves forward approximately 3 inches.

C. The weight changes, but the CG is not affected.
