70% to pass

The signal to man emergency stations on MODU's is _______________.

A 30 seconds on/30 seconds off alternating signal
B announced over PA system
C continuous ringing of general alarm signal
D intermittent ringing of general alarm for not less than 10 seconds
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) intermittent ringing of general alarm for not less than 10 seconds. The signal to man emergency stations on Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) is an intermittent ringing of the general alarm signal for not less than 10 seconds, as per the regulations set by the US Coast Guard. This ensures that all personnel on the MODU are alerted to an emergency situation and can promptly proceed to their designated emergency stations. The other options are incorrect because: A) a 30-second on/30-second off alternating signal is not the standard for MODUs, B) the signal is not announced over the PA system, and C) a continuous ringing of the general alarm signal is not the required emergency signal for MODUs.
