Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Duplex gauge

A duplex gauge contains two independent Bourdon tubes and two pointers within a single housing. This allows the operator to monitor two separate system pressures simultaneously, such as the inlet and outlet pressures of a filter or the pressures of two different hydraulic circuits, on one display.
