Dliquid charged
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) vapor charged. Small appliances with less than three pounds of refrigerant should be charged with refrigerant in the vapor phase. This is in accordance with industry standards and best practices to ensure proper and safe charging of these types of systems. Vapor charging helps prevent liquid refrigerant from being drawn into the compressor, which could damage the system. The other options are incorrect because liquid charging (D) is not recommended for small appliances, and a combination of liquid and vapor charging (A) is unnecessary and can lead to improper system operation. Vapor charging (B) is the proper and recommended method for these types of systems.
