On offshore drilling units, each fire station is required to be fitted with a hose which has a nominal length of _______________.

A 25 feet
B 50 feet
C 75 feet
D 100 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 50 feet. According to the regulations for offshore drilling units, each fire station is required to be fitted with a fire hose that has a nominal length of 50 feet. This requirement is specified in the relevant industry standards and regulations for offshore oil and gas operations, which the US Coast Guard follows for their captain's license exams. The other options are incorrect because 25 feet would be too short, 75 feet would be excessive, and 100 feet would also be longer than the standard requirement.
