70% to pass

A branch line valve of a fire extinguishing system on a MODU must be marked with the _______________.

A date of the last maintenance inspection
B name of the space or spaces which it serves
C pressure needed to maintain an effective stream at that point
D maximum pressure allowed at that branch
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) the name of the space or spaces which it serves. This is because the regulations for fire extinguishing systems on mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) require that each branch line valve must be marked with the name of the space or spaces that it serves. This ensures that personnel can quickly identify which part of the fire system is being controlled by that particular valve. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the specific regulatory requirements for marking branch line valves on MODUs. The date of the last maintenance, the pressure needed, and the maximum allowed pressure are not the required markings as per the applicable regulations.
