Which of the following statements is true regarding centrifugal compressors?

Correct Answer: Option C — The centrifugal compressor is frequently used on small, low power turbines.

Centrifugal compressors are robust, relatively simple to manufacture, and provide high pressure ratios per stage. These characteristics make them ideal for smaller, low-power gas turbines where the complexity and axial length of a multi-stage axial compressor would be impractical or inefficient for the required power output.
