BGalley steam tables
CLaundry steam pressing machines
DFuel oil tank heating coils
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Steam systems operating in excess of 150 psi. The high pressure drain system is typically associated with steam systems operating at pressures above 150 psi. These high-pressure steam systems can be a potential source for the high pressure drain system, as they require proper drainage and condensate removal to ensure safe and efficient operation. The other options, such as galley steam tables, laundry steam pressing machines, and fuel oil tank heating coils, typically operate at lower pressures and would not be considered potential sources for the high pressure drain system.
