AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) It condenses the vapors formed in section "G". This is the correct answer because device "B" is likely a condenser, which is responsible for condensing the vapors generated in section "G" of the illustrated system. The condenser takes the hot vapors and cools them, causing them to condense back into a liquid form, which is then recirculated or discharged. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the function of device "B" in the given illustration. Option A is incorrect as the boiling of feed water would likely occur upstream of the condenser. Option C is incorrect as the condenser is not responsible for removing heat from the jacket water. Option D is incorrect as the condenser does not serve to cool incoming feed water.
