What type of heating coil is generally preferred in heating spaces with electronic equipment?

AHot water heating coil
BSteam heating coil
CElectric-resistance heating coil
DThermal-oil heating coil
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Electric-resistance heating coil. Electric-resistance heating coils are generally preferred for heating spaces with electronic equipment because they do not produce the moisture or condensation that can be associated with hot water or steam heating systems. Moisture and condensation can damage sensitive electronic components, so an electric-resistance heating coil is the safest option to avoid this issue. The other heating coil types, such as hot water or steam, are more prone to producing moisture that could harm the electronic equipment in the space.
