AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) week. According to the regulations set by the U.S. Coast Guard, visual inspections of survival craft on offshore drilling units must be conducted at least once a week to ensure operational readiness. This requirement is in place to maintain the safety and preparedness of the survival equipment in case of an emergency situation, such as an offshore incident or evacuation. The other options are incorrect because monthly (B), quarterly (C), or annual (D) inspections would not be frequent enough to properly monitor the condition and readiness of the survival craft on a consistent basis as required by the Coast Guard regulations.
