Which of the valves listed for the device shown in illustration will be open while the unit is operating in the back flush mode? Illustration GS-0153

AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) valves "4" and "14".
When operating in the back flush mode, valves 4 and 14 need to be open to allow water to flow through the system in the reverse direction for cleaning purposes. Valve 4 allows water to enter the system, while valve 14 provides the exit path for the back flushing flow.
The other answer choices are incorrect because valve 5 would typically be closed during back flushing, and having all three valves 4, 5, and 14 open is not the correct configuration for the back flush mode of operation.
