AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) plant operation can be continued while repairs are being made to a defective unit.
The fuel oil heater installations in marine power plants are typically divided into several units to allow for continued plant operation in the event that a single unit requires repair. This redundancy ensures that the overall system can still function and maintain the necessary fuel oil temperature even if one of the heater units is temporarily offline for maintenance or repair. The other answer choices do not directly address this key purpose of the multiple-unit design.
