Removing or replacing the dump valves is not necessary in this scenario - the appropriate action is to simply close them to contain the system. The other options are incorrect because A) removing the dump valves is unnecessary, C) replacing the dump valves is unnecessary, and D) leaving the dump valves open would be improper procedure after preload discharge.
