AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) drain off condensation. Casing drains on a waste heat boiler gas passage side are required to allow any condensation that forms in the gas passages to be drained off. This prevents the accumulation of water in the gas passages, which could potentially cause corrosion or other issues.
