AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Brine. Brine, which is a salt water solution, is commonly used as a secondary refrigerant in cooling systems. Brine has a low freezing point and can effectively transfer heat from the primary refrigerant to the environment. In contrast, the other options are not suitable for use as secondary refrigerants - carbon dioxide (A) is a primary refrigerant, cuprous chloride (B) is a corrosive chemical, and methyl alcohol (C) is a flammable liquid.
