This is a trick question. The ship rises with the water (unless it is tightly fastened to the seafloor), so the distance would not change.

7 ft. The ship rises with the tide. The rope ladder is attached to the ship. The rope ladder rises with the tide.

7 ft, since the ship floats on the water and rises with the rising ocean level.

Well, the boat floats so it wouldnt change. It would be 7 feet above water
If the boat somehow stayed at the same place the whole time, it would be 49 inches above water.
