Correct Answer: Option C — It supplies the operating medium used in the removal of the distillate.
Item P supplies the motive fluid for the ejectors and feed system. While it provides the medium for brine and air removal, the distillate is removed by a dedicated pump. The distillate pump operates independently to maintain the required flow and salinity levels, separate from the ejector motive water.
