Apassage for sealing liquid to enter the pump
Bbearing surface for the rotor shaft
Carea for pump packing
Dpassage for gas to be discharged
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) passage for gas to be discharged. The function of the section labeled "C" is to provide a passage for the gas or vapor being pumped to be discharged from the pump. This is a critical component of the pump design, as it allows the pumped medium to be safely and efficiently expelled from the pump. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the function of section "C". Option A refers to the entry of liquid into the pump, which is not the purpose of this section. Option B describes the bearing surface for the rotor shaft, which is a separate component. Option C refers to the packing area, which is also a distinct part of the pump.
