Starboard ballast pump #1 on the DEEP DRILLER has failed. If you want to deballast from the forward-starboard column using starboard pump #2, it is necessary to open valves _______________.

AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 3, 34, 35, 36, 46, and 48. The reasoning is that to deballast from the forward-starboard column using starboard pump #2, you need to open the valves that connect that column to the pump. The valves listed in option A are the ones that need to be opened to allow the deballasting process to occur. The other options are incorrect because they either do not include all the necessary valves (C and D) or include unnecessary valves (B).
