A A
B B
C C
D D
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C. The reasoning is as follows: 1. The question states that the DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #3 (Preparing to Drill). This indicates that the vessel is already loaded in a specific configuration. 2. If all the liquid mud (as shown in Table 8) is removed, this would change the vessel's overall loading condition. According to the regulations, the Captain must ensure the vessel remains in a stable condition after any loading changes. 3. The other answer choices (A, B, and D) do not provide a clear indication that the Captain has properly evaluated the vessel's stability after the change in loading. 4. Therefore, option C, which states that the Captain must recalculate the vessel's stability, is the correct answer, as it demonstrates the Captain's responsibility to ensure the vessel remains in a safe and stable condition.
