Question 1008 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Centrifugal pump. Centrifugal pumps are the least likely to be used to strip a cargo tank, as they are not typically designed for this application. Stripping a cargo tank requires a pump that can handle viscous liquids and generate high suction lift, which is better suited for rotary pumps (option A), eductors (option C), and reciprocating pumps (option D). Centrifugal pumps, while commonly used in other marine applications, are generally not the preferred choice for stripping cargo tanks due to their limitations in handling high-viscosity fluids and generating the necessary suction lift.
