AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) loading hoses. The equipment included in the DEEP DRILLER lightweight, as specified in the question, includes the derrick, traveling block in the lowest position, anchors, mooring chain, and all machinery with liquids to normal operating level. The addition of loading hoses to this list is the correct answer, as loading hoses are essential equipment for a deep-water drilling rig like the DEEP DRILLER. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the typical equipment included in the lightweight of a deep-water drilling rig. Normal food supplies, anchor buoys, and lower-hull fuel are not part of the standard lightweight equipment for this type of vessel.
