AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) auxiliary exhaust steam pressure.
The frequent lifting of the DC heater relief valve indicates that the pressure in the DC heater is exceeding the set pressure of the relief valve.

The other options (A, B, and C) do not directly cause excessive pressure in the DC heater that would lead to the relief valve lifting frequently.
