AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Rear (exhaust end), looking toward the intake end. This is correct because when viewing a gas turbine engine illustration, the standard orientation is from the rear (exhaust end) looking toward the intake end. All references to clock positions, engine components, and enclosures will be based on this viewpoint. The other answer choices describe different orientations that do not match the standard convention for interpreting gas turbine engine illustrations.
