Question 4627 Deck General

The correct answer is A) about which the MODU lists and trims. The center of flotation is the point in the waterplane about which a floating body, such as a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit), lists and trims when subjected to external forces. This is because the center of flotation is the point where the buoyant forces act, and any list or trim of the MODU will occur around this point. The other options are incorrect because: B) refers to the center of buoyancy, not the center of flotation. C) describes the relationship between the center of gravity and the center of buoyancy, not the center of flotation. D) is incorrect, as the center of flotation does not necessarily coincide with the center of buoyancy.
