Question 2905 Deck General

The correct answer is D) there is burning oil on the water. The reasoning behind this is that if there is burning oil on the water, the individual should not enter the water on the leeward side, as this would expose them to the burning oil. Instead, they should enter the water on the windward side to avoid the burning oil slick. This is a critical safety consideration in an evacuation from a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) where there may be burning oil or other hazardous materials on the water's surface. The other options, such as the presence of a rigid survival craft (A) or a rescue craft (B), or water temperature below 40°F (C), do not make the procedure of entering the water on the leeward side invalid. The key factor is the presence of burning oil, which poses a serious threat to the individual's safety.
