The condition where a MODU on the end of a tow line is riding a wave crest at the same time as its tug rides a wave crest is known as riding in _______________.

A harmony
B synchronism
C check
D step
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) step. The condition where a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) on the end of a tow line is riding a wave crest at the same time as its tug rides a wave crest is known as "riding in step." This is because the MODU and the tug are moving in synchronization with the wave pattern, creating a step-like motion between the two vessels. The other options are incorrect because "harmony" and "synchronism" do not accurately describe this specific condition, and "check" is not a commonly used term to describe the relationship between the MODU and the tug in this scenario.
