Among the equipment included in the DEEP DRILLER lightweight are the loading hoses, derrick, traveling block in the lowest position, mooring chain, all machinery with liquids to normal operating level, and _______________.

A lower hull fuel
B anchors
C eight anchor buoys
D normal food supplies for 79 persons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) anchors. The DEEP DRILLER lightweight includes anchors as part of the required equipment. This is in accordance with the regulations and guidelines for mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs), which are under the jurisdiction of the US Coast Guard. The anchors are necessary for securing the MODU in position during drilling operations. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not represent the required equipment for the DEEP DRILLER lightweight. Lower hull fuel, eight anchor buoys, and normal food supplies for 79 persons are not part of the standard equipment list for this type of mobile offshore drilling unit.
