AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) produce a fine, swirling, uniform fuel mist. The sprayer plate in a mechanical atomizing oil burner is designed to break up the fuel into a fine, evenly distributed mist as it enters the combustion chamber. This fine, swirling mist allows for more complete and efficient combustion of the fuel. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the primary purpose of the sprayer plate.
