AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) cylinder unloader. A cylinder unloader is a device used to hold open the refrigeration compressor suction valve during starting to reduce the compression load. This helps the compressor overcome the high pressure differential when starting, preventing damage to the compressor. The other options are not specifically used for this purpose - a relief valve, discharge line bypass, and suction line bypass serve different functions in a refrigeration system.
