Portable Halon extinguishers used on MODU's may use _______________.

A HALON 1211 only
B HALON 1301 only
C HALON 22 only
D HALON 1301 or 1211
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) HALON 1211 only. Portable Halon extinguishers used on Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODU's) are required to use Halon 1211 as the extinguishing agent. This is specified in U.S. Coast Guard regulations for fire protection on MODU's. Halon 1301 and Halon 22 are not approved for use in portable extinguishers on MODU's. The other answer choices are incorrect because Halon 1301 (option B) and Halon 22 (option C) are not permitted for portable extinguishers on MODU's, and the use of both Halon 1301 and 1211 (option D) is not allowed - only Halon 1211 is permitted.
