Bthe lube oil cooler to be bypassed
Cpositive lube oil pump suction to be assured
Dgalvanic action in the cooler to be minimized
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) the filter to operate more efficiently. The lube oil cooler is located after the lube oil filter in order to ensure that the filter can operate more efficiently. By placing the cooler downstream of the filter, the oil has already been filtered before passing through the cooler. This helps maintain the filter's effectiveness by preventing any contaminants or debris from entering the cooler and potentially clogging or fouling it. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) bypassing the cooler is not the purpose of this arrangement, C) positive pump suction is not the reason, and D) minimizing galvanic action in the cooler is not the primary consideration here.
