AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) dehydrator or combination filter/drier. Silica gel is commonly found in the dehydrator or combination filter/drier component of a refrigeration system. The silica gel acts as a desiccant, absorbing any moisture that may be present in the refrigerant, preventing it from reaching and damaging other critical components like the compressor. This helps maintain the system's efficiency and prevents issues like freezing or corrosion. The other options are not the typical locations where silica gel would be found in a refrigeration system.
