Athe circuit breaker
Bfor leaks in the suction piping
Cthe suction strainer
Drelief valve is not properly seated
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) the circuit breaker. If a bilge pump is able to develop vacuum but cannot sufficiently pump out the bilges, the issue is likely not related to the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker is responsible for protecting the electrical circuit, and its functionality would not directly impact the pump's ability to pump out the bilges. Instead, you would check for issues such as leaks in the suction piping, the suction strainer being clogged, or the relief valve not being properly seated, as these factors can directly affect the pump's performance.
