Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — Lube and scavenge pump

The lube and scavenge pump assembly is critical for maintaining proper lubrication and cooling of the turbine bearings and gearbox. The scavenge section specifically removes oil from the transfer gearbox sump, preventing oil accumulation, foaming, and potential overheating of the internal mechanical components during high-speed operation.
