AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) booster pump coming on the line and discharging properly. When a booster pump is used to assist in discharging operations, the pressure should initially increase as the booster pump adds additional force to the discharge. If the pressure then drops sharply, it indicates that the booster pump has come online and is now discharging properly, which is the expected and correct outcome. The other answer choices do not accurately describe this scenario.
