Question 4735 Deck General

The correct answer is D) move toward the low side. When a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) is inclined at a small angle, the center of buoyancy will move toward the low side of the vessel. This is because as the vessel inclines, the submerged volume on the low side increases, causing the center of buoyancy to shift in that direction. The other options are incorrect because: A) the center of buoyancy does not remain stationary, B) the center of buoyancy does not move to the height of the metacenter, and C) the center of buoyancy moves toward the low side, not the high side.
