Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — RTD's
Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) are the industry standard for monitoring critical gas turbine temperatures. They offer high accuracy, excellent linearity, and long-term stability compared to thermocouples. Their electrical resistance changes predictably with temperature, allowing for precise remote monitoring and integration into automated engine control and safety systems.
