What pump may be used to supplement the bilge pump on the DEEP DRILLER?

A Drill water
B No.2 Ballast
C No.1 Ballast
D Salt-Water Service
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Drill water. The DEEP DRILLER is a type of offshore drilling vessel, and the drill water pump can be used to supplement the bilge pump in case of emergency or high water levels in the bilge. The drill water pump is specifically designed for this type of vessel and operation, making it the appropriate option to supplement the bilge pump. The other options, B) No. 2 Ballast, C) No. 1 Ballast, and D) Salt-Water Service, are not designed for bilge pumping purposes and would not be the correct choice to supplement the main bilge pump on the DEEP DRILLER.
