On offshore drilling units, the lifeboats' fuel tanks must be emptied and the fuel changed at least once every _______________.

A 12 months
B 24 months
C 36 months
D 48 months
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 12 months. The reasoning is that according to the regulations governing offshore drilling units, the lifeboats' fuel tanks must be emptied and the fuel changed at least once every 12 months. This requirement is in place to ensure the fuel remains fresh and the lifeboats are maintained in a state of operational readiness. The other options (B, C, and D) are incorrect as they do not align with the 12-month requirement specified in the regulations for offshore drilling units.
