AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) double pump unit. The illustrated hydraulic pump graphic symbol (GS-0097) depicts a double pump unit, which consists of two separate pumps integrated into a single housing. This configuration allows for the simultaneous operation of two pumps, providing increased flow capacity or redundancy in the hydraulic system. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the depicted symbol. A combined pump unit (A) typically refers to a single pump with multiple stages, a series-flow pump unit (B) involves pumps connected in series, and a two-stage pump unit (C) has a single pump with two distinct pressure stages.
