AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) the lower explosive limit of a flammable gas concentration. A combustible gas indicator measures the percentage of the lower explosive limit (LEL) of a flammable gas. The LEL is the minimum concentration of a flammable gas in air below which the mixture will not ignite. Reading the LEL percentage allows you to determine how close the gas concentration is to the explosive range. Options B, C, and D do not accurately describe what a combustible gas indicator measures.
