When testing fire hoses on offshore drilling units, each hose must be subjected to a test pressure of at least _______________.

A 100 psi
B 110 psi
C 120 psi
D 150 psi
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 100 psi. According to the regulations for offshore drilling units, each fire hose must be subjected to a test pressure of at least 100 psi. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 34.10-10, which covers the testing of fire hoses on offshore units. The other options (110 psi, 120 psi, and 150 psi) are incorrect as they do not match the regulatory requirement of 100 psi for this type of testing.
