70% to pass

The piping that routes an oil cargo from the manifold to underdeck pipelines is known as a _______________.

A transfer
B cargo fill
C branch line
D line drop
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) line drop. The line that routes an oil cargo from the manifold to the underdeck pipelines is known as the "line drop". This term refers to the section of piping that drops down from the manifold area to connect to the underdeck cargo piping system. This configuration allows the cargo to be transferred from the manifold to the storage tanks below decks. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe this specific section of the cargo piping system. "Transfer" is a more general term, "cargo fill" refers to filling the tanks, and "branch line" would describe a separate line branching off the main cargo piping.
