A
starboard drill water pump
B
starboard saltwater service pump
C
port ballast pumps and crossover system
D
starboard ballast pumps
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) starboard drill water pump. The reasoning is that if the starboard bilge pumps fail to dewater the flooded pump room, the starboard drill water pump can be used as an emergency bilge pump to remove the water. Drill water pumps are often designed with the capability to be used as emergency bilge pumps in the event of flooding. The other options, such as the starboard saltwater service pump, port ballast pumps, or starboard ballast pumps, are not typically equipped or intended for use as emergency bilge pumps in this type of situation.
