A safety outlet is provided on the CO2 discharge piping to prevent _______________.

A over pressurization of the space being flooded
B flooding of a space where personnel are present
C rupture of cylinder due to temperature increase
D over pressurization of the CO2 discharge piping
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) over pressurization of the CO2 discharge piping. The safety outlet is provided on the CO2 discharge piping to prevent over pressurization of the piping system itself. This is a safety feature required by regulations to ensure the piping can withstand the pressure of the CO2 discharge without rupturing. The other options are incorrect because they do not specifically address the purpose of the safety outlet on the piping.
