Progressive flooding on a MODU is controlled by securing watertight boundaries and _______________.

A dumping bulk materials
B pumping out flooded compartments
C evacuating the unit
D transferring drill water
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) pumping out flooded compartments. Explanation: On a mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU), progressive flooding is controlled by securing watertight boundaries and pumping out any flooded compartments. Pumping out the flooded areas helps prevent the progressive spread of water throughout the vessel, which could compromise stability and lead to a more serious incident. The other options are incorrect - dumping bulk materials, evacuating the unit, and transferring drill water are not the primary methods for controlling progressive flooding on a MODU.
