AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) accumulator. The accumulator is the component used in a hydraulic system to store potential energy in the form of hydraulic fluid under pressure. It acts as a reservoir, maintaining a supply of pressurized fluid that can be quickly released when needed, providing a burst of power to the hydraulic system. The other options are incorrect because: A) a ram is a linear actuator that converts the hydraulic pressure into mechanical force and motion, B) a pump is the component that generates the hydraulic pressure, and D) the piping simply carries the pressurized fluid throughout the system.
