Question 947 Deck General

The correct answer is D) All of the above. Static electricity can be built up through various processes involving petroleum, including the settling of solids or water in petroleum, the flow of petroleum through pipes, and the spraying or splashing of petroleum. All of these activities can generate static electricity, which can be a potential ignition source and must be properly managed on vessels to prevent fires or explosions. The other options are incorrect because they only describe individual processes that can generate static electricity, while the correct answer acknowledges that static electricity can be built up through any of these petroleum-related activities.
