- B. At least once every two months
- ✓ At least once every three monthsCorrect
- D. At least once every six months
Why C is correct
33 CFR §164.25(d) states that the 48-hour pre-entry emergency steering drill requirement does not apply if the drill is conducted and logged on a regular basis at least once every three months. No other interval satisfies this exception.
