A
30 feet
B
33 feet
C
35 feet
D
40 feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 35 feet. According to the regulations governing offshore drilling operations, the maximum wave height allowed for drilling in winds of 57 knots and a current of 2 knots is 35 feet. This is the limit set by industry standards and safety protocols to ensure the stability and safety of the drilling platform in such elevated environmental conditions. The other answer choices are incorrect because 30 feet (A) is too low, 33 feet (B) is still below the standard, and 40 feet (D) exceeds the maximum allowable wave height for safe drilling operations in the given wind and current conditions.
