For most MODU engines, the fuel is _______________.

A propane
B natural gas
C bunker fuel
D diesel oil
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) diesel oil. For most mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) engines, the fuel used is diesel oil. This is because diesel engines are the predominant type of engine used to power the main propulsion and auxiliary systems on MODUs. Diesel engines are well-suited for the harsh offshore environment and the high power demands of MODU operations. In contrast, propane (A), natural gas (B), and bunker fuel (C) are not commonly used as the primary fuel for MODU engines.
