A
0°
B
30°
C
60°
D
90°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 0°. During a storm, the mooring line on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) should be long enough so that the angle between the anchor shank and the ocean floor is 0°. This is to ensure that the anchor is properly set and can withstand the forces of the storm, providing maximum holding power and stability for the MODU. The other options, such as 30°, 60°, or 90°, would result in less effective anchoring and increased risk of the MODU drifting or breaking free during the storm.
