AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) It serves as a hinge for ease of opening the shell. The illustration MO-0110 likely depicts a component of a boiler or other pressurized vessel. The device labeled "A" is a hinge that allows the shell or casing of the vessel to be opened for inspection, maintenance, or repair. This hinged design provides easy access to the internal components while maintaining the structural integrity of the vessel.
