Correct answer: C. Fusible plug

  • A. Blow down valve
  • B. Blow off cock
  • C. Fusible plug
  • D. Safety valve

Explanation

A fusible plug protects a boiler during low-water conditions by melting when its exposed portion overheats, releasing steam and warning of the unsafe condition. Blowdown valves remove sludge, whereas the safety valve responds to excess pressure.
