A the date of each fire extinguisher test is recorded
B the Muster List ("Station Bill") is approved by the Coast Guard
C a fire drill is held at least once each day
D all personnel are trained to launch the survival craft
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) the date of each fire extinguisher test is recorded. The person in charge of a mobile offshore drilling unit must ensure that the date of each fire extinguisher test is recorded. This is a regulatory requirement under 46 CFR 109.485, which mandates that all fire extinguishers on board must be inspected and tested at regular intervals, and the dates of these inspections must be recorded. The other options, while important for safety, are not the specific responsibility of the person in charge as stated in the question.
