AI Explanation

The correct answer is A. The superheater is located at location G in the illustration SG-0008. The superheater is a heat exchanger that superheats the steam produced in the boiler, increasing its temperature and energy content before it enters the steam turbine or other steam-powered equipment. This is a standard component in the design of boilers used for power generation. The other options (H, I, and J) in the illustration represent different components of the boiler, such as the steam drum, the water column, and the water gauge, but they do not depict the location of the superheater.
