Question 221Motor Plants - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is C) wet sump system. A wet sump system is a type of lubrication system where the oil is stored in a sump or reservoir at the bottom of the engine. This system uses a pump to draw oil from the sump and circulate it through the engine, allowing it to lubricate the various components. The illustration MO-0007 depicts a wet sump system, which is the most common type of lubrication system used in marine engines. The other options are incorrect because: A) A bypass system is a type of filtration system, not a lubrication system. B) A dry sump system has the oil stored in a separate tank, not in the engine sump. D) A shunt system is not a recognized type of lubrication system.
