A
16°
B
20°

D
30°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 20°. The requirement for survival craft to be capable of being launched at the minimum operating draft, under unfavorable conditions of trim and with the unit listed not less than 20°, is specified in the regulations for surface type offshore drilling units. This ensures that the survival craft can be safely launched even in severe conditions, providing a higher level of safety for the crew. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the regulatory requirement. 16° (A) is too low, and 24° (C) and 30° (D) are higher angles than the 20° specified in the regulations.
