Correct Answer: Option A — 180oF to 200oF
Marine low-temperature hot water heating systems typically operate within a standard temperature range of 180°F to 200°F. This range optimizes thermal comfort and heat exchanger efficiency while preventing boiling within pressurized closed-loop configurations.
