Correct Answer: Option B — The oil/water interface will remain in the same neutral position.

A leak at item F affects operating water or seal integrity rather than the static geometry of the neutral zone. The oil/water interface neutral position remains governed by the gravity disc diameter and density balance, not internal operating water leakage.
