Answer

  • A Because strength and performance are only demonstrated up to this mass

Explanation

The structure is only designed for the intended load factors up to the certified mass. In addition, all performance data in the flight manual apply only up to this mass. An overloaded aeroplane needs longer take-off distances, climbs worse and stalls at a higher speed.
