Aarea for pump packing
Bpassage for sealing liquid to enter the pump
Cbearing surface for the rotor shaft
Dpassage for gas to be discharged
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) passage for gas to be discharged. The section labeled "C" in the illustration GS-0075 functions as a passage for gas to be discharged from the device. This is because the primary purpose of this type of device is to pump or compress gas, and the section labeled "C" provides an opening or channel for the gas to exit the pump or compressor after being pressurized. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the function of this specific section of the device. Options A and B are more applicable to liquid pumps, while option C describes a bearing surface, which is not the primary function of the section labeled "C" in this gas-handling device.
