A142 amps
B156 amps
C163 amps
D187 amps
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 187 amps. As shown in the motor nameplate illustration EL-0171, the "Full Load Amps" value is listed as 187 amps. This indicates that the motor can safely draw up to 187 amps of current on a continuous basis at sea level without overheating. The "Full Load Amps" rating provided by the manufacturer is the authoritative reference for determining the maximum safe current draw for the motor. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the "Full Load Amps" value shown on the nameplate.
