A 30 gallons per minute
B 40 gallons per minute
C 50 gallons per minute
D 60 gallons per minute
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 50 gallons per minute. According to the relevant regulations, a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) helicopter landing deck where fueling operations are conducted must have a fire protection system capable of discharging a foam spray of at least 50 gallons per minute at a pressure of 100 psi. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Part 108 - Design and Equipment, which covers the safety standards for MODUs. The other options are incorrect because they do not meet the minimum discharge rate requirement of 50 gallons per minute as per the regulations.
