A104.7 PSIA
B214.7 PSIA
C194.0 PSIA
D223.4 PSIA.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 223.4 PSIA. Explanation: 1) The correct answer is D) 223.4 PSIA. 2) To convert 208.7 PSIG (pounds per square inch gauge) to PSIA (pounds per square inch absolute), we add the standard atmospheric pressure of 14.7 PSIA. 208.7 PSIG + 14.7 PSIA = 223.4 PSIA. 3) The other options are incorrect because they do not properly account for the conversion from gauge pressure to absolute pressure. 4) Under standard atmospheric conditions, 208.7 PSIG converts to approximately 223.4 PSIA.
