Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — turbine extraction line

Low-pressure evaporators utilize low-grade heat sources to minimize energy consumption. Turbine extraction steam is ideal for this purpose, as it provides a steady supply of low-pressure, low-temperature steam that is otherwise wasted, significantly improving the overall thermal efficiency of the ship's steam plant.
