AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Electrical limit switch. An electrical limit switch is typically used as a safety feature to satisfy Coast Guard regulations for the unit shown in the illustration MO-0116. Limit switches are designed to automatically cut off or limit the operation of machinery when it reaches a certain predetermined position or point, preventing potential accidents or damage.
