Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — On each corner of the rig
Outer Continental Shelf safety regulations mandate that on MODUs with structural dimensions exceeding specific thresholds, such as 220 by 190 feet, obstruction lights must be positioned on each outer corner of the rig to delineate the total hazard perimeter.
