Each hand portable fire extinguisher on a MODU must be marked with _______________.

A the names of the individuals qualified to use it
B an identification number different from other extinguishers on the unit
C the date that it was installed on the unit
D the name of the unit on which it is located
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) an identification number different from other extinguishers on the unit. This is because the regulations for fire extinguishers on mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) require each hand portable fire extinguisher to be marked with a unique identification number. This allows the extinguishers to be easily identified and tracked on the unit. The other options, such as the names of qualified users, the installation date, or the name of the unit, are not required markings for these types of fire extinguishers.
