AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) allows the inert gas piping to be used for gas freeing the tanks. The fresh air intake of the inert gas system is designed to allow the inert gas piping to be used for gas freeing the tanks. This is a key function of the fresh air intake, as it enables the system to be used for multiple purposes, including tank cleaning and ventilation. The other answer choices do not accurately describe the primary purpose of the fresh air intake in an inert gas system.
