AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) monkey board. The monkey board is the platform that supports the derrickman when tripping pipe on an oil rig or drilling platform. This is the standard term used in the oil and gas industry to refer to this specific piece of equipment. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) The stabbing board is used to guide the pipe into the well, not to support the derrickman. B) The water table refers to the level of groundwater, and is not a structural component of the drilling rig. D) The Texas deck is the main working platform of the drilling rig, not the specific location for the derrickman.
