Correct Answer: Option A — direct vapor recovery

Direct vapor recovery involves drawing refrigerant gas directly from the system into the recovery unit, where it is compressed and condensed into a storage cylinder. This method is standard for smaller systems or when removing remaining vapor after liquid recovery, as it does not require the external pressure differential of push-pull.
