AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) adjustable to meet lubrication requirements.

This allows the lubrication to be tailored to the specific needs of the engine, ensuring adequate lubrication without waste. The other options are incorrect because: A) the lubricators do not need to be operated manually on an hourly basis, C) they are not only used at maximum load, and D) they continue to operate even after the engine has started.
