A
daily
B
weekly
C
monthly
D
yearly
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) monthly. According to US Coast Guard regulations, the EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) on offshore drilling units must be tested monthly to ensure it is functioning properly and will activate in an emergency. This monthly testing requirement is specified in the Coast Guard's safety regulations for mobile offshore drilling units. The other options are incorrect because daily or weekly testing would be overly frequent, while yearly testing would not be frequent enough to ensure the EPIRB's reliability.
