70% to pass

On a MODU, a cabinet or space containing the controls or valves for the fixed firefighting system must be _______________.

A painted with red and black diagonal stripes
B equipped with a battery powered source of emergency lighting
C ventilated and equipped with explosion-proof switches
D posted with instructions on the operation of the system
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) posted with instructions on the operation of the system. The rationale for this is that according to US Coast Guard regulations, the cabinet or space containing the controls or valves for the fixed firefighting system on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) must be clearly marked with instructions on how to operate the system. This ensures that the system can be properly and safely used in the event of an emergency. The other answer choices, while potentially relevant to other maritime safety requirements, do not specifically address the need for clear operating instructions to be posted for the fixed firefighting system.
