70% to pass

Control of flooding on a MODU should be addressed _______________.

A following restoration of vital services
B first
C following control of fire
D only if a threat exists
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) following control of fire. Control of flooding on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) should be addressed following the control of fire, as fire poses a more immediate threat to the safety of the vessel and crew. Addressing flooding only after the fire is under control ensures that the crew can focus on the most critical priority first. The other options are incorrect because: A) restoring vital services is not the highest priority, B) addressing flooding should not be the first step, and D) controlling flooding is important regardless of whether there is a direct threat, as it is a key safety consideration on a MODU.
