70% to pass

The wooden plug inserted in the vent of a damaged tank of a MODU should be removed in case it is decided to _______________.

A use the crossover system
B abandon the rig
C pump from the damaged tank
D fight a fire
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) pump from the damaged tank. When a tank on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) is damaged, the wooden plug inserted in the vent should be removed if it is decided to pump from the damaged tank. This allows the tank to be properly vented and prevents pressure buildup, which is important for safely pumping out the contents of the damaged tank. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) using the crossover system does not require removing the vent plug, B) abandoning the rig does not involve pumping from the damaged tank, and D) fighting a fire does not necessitate removing the vent plug from the damaged tank.
