B whistles and general alarm bells are tested once each day
C each bilge pump is operated at least once a week
D all personnel are provided with work vests
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) the date and hour of each fire drill is recorded in the log. This is the correct answer because under U.S. Coast Guard regulations, the person in charge of a mobile offshore drilling unit must ensure that the date and hour of each fire drill is recorded in the ship's log. This requirement helps ensure proper documentation and accountability for safety drills. The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the specific regulatory requirement for recording fire drill details in the log, which is the primary responsibility of the person in charge of the mobile offshore drilling unit.
