The correct answer is A) Foreign Object Damage. FOD refers to damage caused to aircraft, vehicles, or equipment by foreign objects, such as debris, tools, or other items that should not be present in the operational environment. This is a critical concern in the maritime industry, including for the US Coast Guard, as foreign objects can interfere with the proper functioning of machinery and equipment, potentially leading to accidents or equipment failure. The other answer choices do not accurately reflect the meaning of the FOD acronym.
