In MODU construction, beam brackets are triangular plates that join the deck beam to a _______________.

A deck longitudinal
B frame
C stanchion
D bulkhead
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) frame. In MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) construction, beam brackets are triangular plates that join the deck beam to a frame. The frame is the vertical structural member that supports the deck beams and provides overall strength and rigidity to the MODU's hull. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) deck longitudinal is a horizontal structural member, not a vertical one that the beam bracket would connect to; C) a stanchion is a vertical support post, not the structural member that the beam bracket would connect to; and D) a bulkhead is a vertical partition wall, not the structural member that the beam bracket would connect to.
