The correct answer is A) combined low-pressure feed heater. The combined low-pressure feed heater is used to heat the boiler feed water before it enters the boiler. This helps improve the overall efficiency of the steam generation system. The illustration SG-0025 shows a component that is part of the feed water heating system, and the combined low-pressure feed heater is the most appropriate description for this unit based on its function. The other options are incorrect because they describe different components of the steam generation system that are not shown in the specific illustration provided.
