Ccompressor
Dsiphon
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) diffuser. The three basic parts of an eductor are the nozzle, the suction chamber, and the diffuser. The diffuser is the component that creates the pressure drop in the suction chamber, allowing the eductor to draw in and entrain fluid through the suction port. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) An injector is a different type of fluid-driven pump, not a component of an eductor. C) A compressor is used to increase the pressure of a gas, not a component of an eductor. D) A siphon is a device that uses atmospheric pressure to move a liquid, not a component of an eductor.
