AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Heavy fuel oil settling and day tanks. Heavy fuel oil is typically stored and maintained at a temperature below its flash point in the settling and day tanks to prevent the risk of fire or explosion. This is in accordance with regulations and industry standards for the safe handling and storage of heavy fuel oil. The other options, such as the mixing tank, purifier heater outlet, or final heater outlet, are not the primary locations where heavy fuel oil is kept below the flash point.
