A trip
B fish
C tour
D thribble
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) trip. The operation of hoisting the drill stem out of and returning it to the wellbore is called a "trip". This term is commonly used in the oil and gas industry to describe the process of removing the drill string from the wellbore and then lowering it back in. During a trip, the drill pipe is pulled out of the hole (POOH) and then run back in (RIH) to either replace drill bits, perform maintenance, or prepare for the next phase of drilling operations. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe this specific operation. "Fish" refers to the recovery of lost or stuck equipment in the wellbore, "tour" is a general term for a shift or period of work, and "thribble" is not a recognized industry term.
