DIt is only used as a lifting beam during installation.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) It serves as a hinge for ease of opening the shell. The illustration MO-0110 likely depicts a device or component of a marine system, and the feature labeled as "A" is likely a hinge that allows the shell or casing to be opened for maintenance, inspection, or access to internal components. This hinge design is common in various marine equipment and systems to facilitate easy access and servicing. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the function of the feature labeled as "A" in the illustration. Option A) refers to a water feed function, Option B) describes a tube bundle removal function, and Option D) suggests it is only used during installation, which does not align with the hinge-like purpose indicated in the correct answer.
