How must each storage tank for helicopter fuel on a MODU be marked?

A DANGER - KEEP AWAY
B DANGER - NO SMOKING
C DANGER - EXPLOSIVE VAPORS
D DANGER - FLAMMABLE LIQUID
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) DANGER - FLAMMABLE LIQUID. Each storage tank for helicopter fuel on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) must be marked with a "DANGER - FLAMMABLE LIQUID" warning, as per the Coast Guard regulations. This is because helicopter fuel, typically Jet-A or similar aviation fuel, is a highly flammable liquid that requires proper handling and storage precautions. The "DANGER - FLAMMABLE LIQUID" marking helps to clearly identify the hazardous nature of the contents and the need for caution when working around the storage tanks. The other options, while potentially applicable in other contexts, do not specifically address the marking requirements for helicopter fuel storage tanks on a MODU as per the Coast Guard regulations.
