Arestores the conditioned air temperature to a comfortable level
Bcontrols the inlet air volume
Ccontrols the inlet air temperature
Dmaintains the relative humidity at 15%
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) restores the conditioned air temperature to a comfortable level. In an air conditioning system, the reheater is responsible for increasing the temperature of the air after it has been cooled and dehumidified by the cooling coil. This is necessary to bring the air temperature back to a comfortable level for the occupants of the space being conditioned. The other options are incorrect because: B) the inlet air volume is controlled by the blower or fan, C) the inlet air temperature is controlled by the cooling coil, and D) the relative humidity is typically maintained between 30-60%, not specifically at 15%.
