Diagram for USCG Motor Plants Assistant: As shown in the illustration, which of the following conditions would be...
AThroughput too low
BSeparating temperature too low
CController setpoint changed
DEmergency stop button not reset
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Throughput too low. A low-pressure alarm in the oil outlet would indicate that the oil flow or throughput is too low. This could be caused by a blockage or restriction in the oil line, a malfunctioning pump, or other issues that reduce the oil flow. Separating temperature, controller setpoint, and the emergency stop button are not directly related to causing a low-pressure alarm in the oil outlet. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not directly impact the oil outlet pressure. A low separating temperature, changed controller setpoint, or an un-reset emergency stop button would not independently trigger a low-pressure alarm in the oil outlet.
