A
guide frame
B
foundation template
C
permanent guide base
D
temporary guide base
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) temporary guide base. In offshore drilling operations, a heavy steel device set on the sea floor and used as a drilling template is called a temporary guide base. This device serves as a guide and support structure for the drilling equipment and is only in place temporarily during the drilling process. It is not a permanent structure, which makes it a "temporary guide base" rather than a "permanent guide base" (answer C). The other options, "guide frame" (A) and "foundation template" (B), do not accurately describe the specific purpose and nature of this drilling equipment.
