DFuel pump inlet.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Fuel pump inlet. When the engine fuel oil valves are de-energized, the remaining fuel left in the system is recirculated back to the fuel pump inlet. This is because the fuel system is designed to ensure a continuous supply of fuel to the engine, even when the valves are closed. By recirculating the fuel back to the inlet of the fuel pump, the system maintains a constant flow and pressure, preventing potential issues with the engine's fuel supply. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the proper path for the recirculated fuel. The day tank, high-pressure relief valve, and fuel purge manifold are not the destinations for the recirculated fuel when the engine fuel oil valves are de-energized.
