Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — Moisture separator

Control air systems require high-quality, dry, and clean air to prevent damage to sensitive pneumatic instruments. A moisture separator is essential at the pressure-reducing station to remove condensed water and oil aerosols from the air stream, ensuring that the control devices remain free from corrosion, blockage, and operational failure.
