The correct answer is D) All of the above. The illustration SG-0005 shows a piping system with various components operating on different steam pressures. The statement that the boiler soot blowers operate with desuperheated steam, the air ejectors operate on 143 psi steam, and the steam whistle operates on 140 psi steam are all correct based on the information provided in the illustration. The other answer options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the details shown in the piping system diagram. This type of question is common on US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, where candidates are expected to demonstrate their understanding of marine engineering systems and components.
