C 12
D 16
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 12 hand held, rocket propelled, parachute, red flare, distress signals required on board offshore drilling units. This is the correct answer based on the U.S. Coast Guard regulations for offshore drilling units. Specifically, Title 46 CFR 108.489 requires that offshore drilling units must carry a minimum of 12 hand-held rocket-propelled parachute red flare distress signals. The other options are incorrect as they do not meet the regulatory requirement of 12 signals.
