Of the required ring life buoys for a MODU, how many must be equipped with a water light?

A 1
B 2
C 4
D 8
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 4. According to the US Coast Guard regulations, a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) must be equipped with a minimum of 4 ring life buoys that are equipped with a water light. This requirement is specified in 46 CFR 109.301(g), which states that "each MODU must carry at least 4 ring life buoys equipped with a water light." The other answer options are incorrect because they do not meet the regulatory requirement. A MODU must have 4 ring life buoys with water lights, not 1, 2, or 8.
