A
12 months
B
24 months
C
36 months
D
48 months
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 48 months. The reason for this is that according to the regulations set by the U.S. Coast Guard, offshore drilling units must have their cranes, hooks, hook blocks, slings, and other rigging equipment load tested once every 48 months (4 years). This requirement is in place to ensure the safe operation and continued functionality of this critical equipment over time. The other answer choices, such as 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months, are incorrect because they do not align with the Coast Guard's regulatory requirements for the frequency of these load tests on offshore drilling units.
