AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) whip line. The whip line is the primary hoist line used for lifting personnel on Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) cranes. This is because the whip line is designed to be lightweight and easy to control, making it the safest option for hoisting workers. The other options are not the correct terms for the hoist line used specifically for personnel transfer on MODU cranes. The pendant, personnel line, and main hoist line serve different purposes on a MODU crane system.
