Correct    D. 220-3(a) and Table. 125 x 157 = 19,625 sq. ft. x 3.5 vA = 68,688 x 1.25 (continuous load) = 85,860 vA + 19,625 vA (unknown recp load) = 105,485 vA ¸ 360 = 293 amp. You do not add the 1 vA recpt load to the 3.5 vA lighting load. You cannot properly compute the continuous lighting load this way.
