A
at bow and stern on the centerline
B
at frame O, port and starboard
C
near each corner of the hull
D
on each leg
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) near each corner of the hull. On a self-elevating drilling unit, the draft marks must be located near each corner of the hull. This is because the unit can tilt and change its orientation, so having draft marks at the corners allows for accurate draft measurements regardless of the unit's position. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not account for the unique design and operation of a self-elevating drilling unit.
