What agency issues the Ship Station license for the VHF marine radio on a mobile offshore drilling unit?

A Department of Transportation
B U.S. Coast Guard
C Federal Communications Commission
D Federal Broadcast Authority
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Federal Communications Commission. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is the agency responsible for issuing the Ship Station license for the VHF marine radio on a mobile offshore drilling unit. This is because the FCC regulates the use of radio frequency spectrum, including maritime radio communications, in the United States. The other options are incorrect because the Department of Transportation, U.S. Coast Guard, and Federal Broadcast Authority do not have the authority to issue the Ship Station license for VHF marine radios on mobile offshore drilling units. The FCC is the sole agency responsible for this type of radio licensing in the United States.
