AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) atmosphere.
The gland exhaust fan draws steam and non-condensable vapors from the gland exhaust condenser and discharges them to the atmosphere.

The other options are incorrect because: B) the main condenser is a separate system that condenses the main steam, C) the vent condenser is not involved in this process, and D) the atmospheric drain tank is for collecting condensate, not venting non-condensable gases.
