A 4
B 3
C 2
D 1
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 2. According to the regulations for mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) under the US Coast Guard, the minimum number of lifeboats that must be carried on a MODU that is allowed to carry more than 30 persons is 2. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 108.503. The other answer choices are incorrect because 4 lifeboats are not required for a MODU with more than 30 persons (A), and 1 or 3 lifeboats would not meet the regulatory minimum (D and B).
