A weathertight door on a MODU must not allow water to penetrate into the unit in _______________.

A 50 knot winds
B 70 knot winds
C 100 knot winds
D any sea condition
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) any sea condition. A weathertight door on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) must be designed to prevent water from penetrating the unit in any sea condition, regardless of wind speed. This requirement is specified in the regulations for the design and construction of MODUs, which are subject to stringent weathertight and watertight standards to ensure the safety and integrity of the unit in harsh offshore environments. The other options, such as 50, 70, or 100 knot winds, are not the correct criteria for determining the weathertight performance of a door on a MODU. The door must be weathertight in any sea condition, not just up to a specific wind speed.
