The three basic parts of any eductor are the nozzle, the suction chamber, and the _______________.

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) diffuser. The three basic parts of an eductor are the nozzle, the suction chamber, and the diffuser. The diffuser is the component that converts the high-velocity, low-pressure flow from the nozzle into a low-velocity, high-pressure flow. This allows the eductor to create suction and draw in fluid from the suction chamber. The other answer choices (compressor, injector, siphon) are not accurate descriptions of the third component of an eductor.
