A
day
B
week
C
month
D
year
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) week. The requirement to operate the lifeboat motors in the ahead and astern position at least once a week is specified in the regulations for offshore drilling units. This ensures the lifeboat motors are regularly tested and maintained to be ready for emergency use. Performing this test weekly helps identify any issues with the motors before they become serious problems. The other options are incorrect because daily testing (A) is not required, monthly testing (C) is too infrequent, and yearly testing (D) would not provide sufficient monitoring of the lifeboat motor's operational readiness.
