ACargo Oil Transfer Pump No.1
BLube Oil Service Pump No.1
CS.W. Cooling Circ. Pump No.1
DSewage Treatment Plant
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Sewage Treatment Plant. The Sewage Treatment Plant is typically supplied with a circuit breaker that provides both overload and short-circuit protection, as required by electrical safety regulations for this type of critical equipment. This ensures that the sewage treatment system is protected from electrical faults, preventing potential damage or safety hazards. The other options, such as the Cargo Oil Transfer Pump, Lube Oil Service Pump, and Sea Water Cooling Circulation Pump, may also have circuit breakers, but they are not necessarily required to have both overload and short-circuit protection, as the Sewage Treatment Plant would.
