Bproduce a gas of 100% pure nitrogen
Cgenerate a high oxygen content gas

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) supply conditioned gas with reduced oxygen content. The primary function of a "flue gas type" inert gas system is to generate a gas with a reduced oxygen content, typically around 5-10% oxygen, to provide an inert atmosphere for the cargo tanks on a vessel. This helps prevent the risk of explosions or fires by reducing the amount of available oxygen. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the primary purpose of this type of inert gas system.
