AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) main and/or auxiliary condensate pump. The cooling water to the vent condenser in a DC heater is supplied by the main and/or auxiliary condensate pump. The condensate pump is responsible for circulating the cooling water through the vent condenser to condense the vapors and return the condensate to the feedwater system. The other options are incorrect because the main feed pump, salt water circulator, and feed booster pump are not responsible for supplying the cooling water to the vent condenser in a DC heater.
