B
against the wind
C

D
at a high rate of speed
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) against the wind. When approaching a person who has fallen overboard from a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit), the survival craft should approach against the wind. This allows the craft to maintain control and stability, making it easier to safely retrieve the person from the water. Approaching with the wind or at a high rate of speed could make it more difficult to control the craft and increase the risk of further injury to the person in the water. Approaching under oars is also not the recommended method, as it would be slower and less efficient in an emergency situation.
