AContaminated evaporator and distilling plant air ejectors
BTank cleaning heater and ship's whistle
CMain feed pump drive turbines and turbine gland seal regulators
DMain boiler burner steam atomizers and turbine gland seal regulators
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Main boiler burner steam atomizers and turbine gland seal regulators. This is correct because the illustrated auxiliary steam and HP bleed system diagram shows that the same steam pressure reducing station supplies steam to both the main boiler burner steam atomizers and the turbine gland seal regulators. The diagram clearly indicates these two steam loads are connected to the same pressure reducing station. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the connections shown in the diagram. For example, the contaminated evaporator and distilling plant air ejectors, as well as the tank cleaning heater and ship's whistle, are not supplied by the same pressure reducing station as the main boiler burner steam atomizers and turbine gland seal regulators.
