70% to pass

Standards for fabrication and testing of chain on mobile offshore drilling units are provided by the _______________.

A Minerals Management Service
B American Petroleum Institute
C U.S. Coast Guard
D Department of the Interior
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) American Petroleum Institute. The standards for fabrication and testing of chain on mobile offshore drilling units are provided by the American Petroleum Institute (API), not the U.S. Coast Guard, the Minerals Management Service, or the Department of the Interior. The API is the primary standards-setting organization for the oil and gas industry, and they have developed specific standards and recommended practices for the design, fabrication, and testing of equipment used on offshore drilling rigs, including the chain used on these units. The other options are incorrect because they are either government agencies that do not set these specific standards, or they are not the primary standards-setting body for the offshore oil and gas industry.
