In what condition is LNG transported?

A At its critical temperature.
B At a pressure in excess of 15.4 PSIA.
C At its boiling point.
D All of the above.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) At its boiling point. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is transported at its boiling point, which is typically around -162°C (-260°F) at atmospheric pressure. This cryogenic temperature is necessary to liquefy the natural gas, which reduces its volume significantly and makes it safer and more efficient to transport. The LNG is kept at this temperature to maintain its liquid state, as opposed to transporting it at its critical temperature or at a pressure in excess of 15.4 PSIA, which would not be the proper conditions for LNG transport. The other options are incorrect because transporting LNG at its critical temperature or at a pressure in excess of 15.4 PSIA would not be the standard or recommended practice for LNG transport.
