AI Explanation

The correct answer is B. Heat is removed from the refrigerant circulating through the refrigeration system by the condenser (component B). The condenser is the part of the refrigeration cycle where the hot, high-pressure refrigerant gas released by the compressor is cooled and condensed back into a liquid by transferring its heat to the surrounding air or cooling water. The other options are incorrect because: A) is the compressor, which applies pressure to the refrigerant gas to circulate it through the system. C) and D) are the expansion valve and evaporator, respectively, which are responsible for the cooling effect, not the heat removal.
