A
The cranes may be operated independently.
B
The cranes are powered by independent internal combustion power units.
C
The cranes may be interconnected for twin operation.
D
All of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B. The cranes in a twin pedestal crane set are not powered by independent internal combustion power units. Twin pedestal cranes are typically powered by a single power source, usually an electric motor, that is shared between the two cranes. They are interconnected and can be operated together as a unit, rather than independently. The cranes may be operated independently, and the system may be designed to allow for independent operation, but they do not have separate internal combustion power units.
