DBy removing the upper half casing and separately lifting out the compressor and power turbine rotors.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) By removing the inlet screen, barrier wall and module front panel, then installing the rails and moving the engine into the engine room and up through the soft patch to the main deck. This is the correct answer because it accurately describes the typical procedure for removing a gas turbine engine, such as the one shown in the illustration GT-0022. The inlet screen, barrier wall, and module front panel need to be removed to access the engine, and then rails are installed to allow the engine to be carefully moved into the engine room and lifted up through the soft patch (an opening in the deck) to the main deck. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the full engine removal process. Removing only the exhaust boot, HSCS, and PT (answer B) would not allow the entire engine to be removed. Removing the inlet screen and barrier wall but lifting the engine out through the inlet duct (answer C) is also not the typical procedure. Separately lifting out the compressor and power turbine rotors (answer D) is a more involved process that would not be the standard engine removal method.
