A
12 months
B
24 months
C
36 months
D
48 months
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 12 months. Under US Coast Guard regulations, all hand-held portable fire extinguishers, semi-portable fire extinguishers, and fixed fire extinguishers on offshore drilling units must be tested and inspected at least once every 12 months. This requirement is specified in 46 CFR 107.235, which states that all such fire extinguishing equipment must be serviced at least annually. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the 12-month inspection and testing requirement for fire extinguishers on offshore drilling units.
