B allow emergency use of the fire main for deballasting
C permit discharge of waste oil
D satisfy pollution prevention requirements
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) allow hook up of fire fighting water from a dock or another vessel. The international shore connection is a standard fitting required on mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) to allow the MODU's firefighting system to be connected to a shoreside or other vessel's firefighting water supply in an emergency. This provides an additional water source for the MODU's firefighting capabilities, which is an important safety feature. The other answer choices do not accurately describe the purpose of the international shore connection.
