A30°F
BB
C27.8°C)
D70°F
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 30°F. The maximum temperature rise of oil passing through any reduction gear set or bearing should not exceed 30°F, as per the requirements set by the US Coast Guard for Captain's License Examinations. This limit is in place to ensure the proper lubrication and operation of these critical components, preventing excessive wear and potential failure. The other options are incorrect because B is not a complete answer, C is in Celsius rather than Fahrenheit, and D is too high and would likely result in damage to the equipment.
