A30 PSIG
B130 PSIG

D330 PSIG
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 330 PSIG. The secondary passages on the gas turbine engine fuel nozzles shown in illustration GT-0005 are designed to open at approximately 330 PSIG. This is the typical opening pressure for the secondary fuel passages, which serve as a backup fuel delivery system in case the primary passages become blocked or obstructed. The other answer choices are incorrect because 30 PSIG is too low, 130 PSIG is too low, and 230 PSIG is also too low for the secondary fuel passage opening pressure of a gas turbine engine fuel nozzle system.
