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.

The other options are incorrect because they do not specifically address the purpose of the safety outlet on the piping.
