If you see someone fall overboard from a MODU, you should _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) call for help and keep the individual in sight.
When someone falls overboard from a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit), the primary action is to call for help and keep the individual in sight. This is in accordance with Coast Guard regulations and best safety practices. Calling for help alerts the crew to the emergency, and keeping the individual in sight allows for a targeted rescue effort. The other options are not the correct immediate actions, as they either delay the rescue (A, C) or put the rescuer at risk (D).
