Survival practice in the mooring system is to slack off the tensions on the leeward side and __________.

Correct Answer: Option C — adjust as evenly as practical the windward tensions

Maintaining uniform tension on windward anchors is critical for MODU station-keeping during heavy weather. By balancing these loads, the unit avoids excessive stress on individual lines and prevents uneven movement, which could lead to structural damage or mooring failure. Slacking leeward lines reduces unnecessary drag and potential entanglement.
