BBetween the first reduction gears and high-speed pinions of the high pressure and low pressure turbines.
CBetween the bull gear and line shaft on the side of the gear opposite the thrust bearing.
DBetween the rotors and high-speed pinions of the high pressure and low pressure turbines.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Between the rotors and high-speed pinions of the high pressure and low pressure turbines. The part shown in the illustration would be located between the rotors and high-speed pinions of the high pressure and low pressure turbines in a modern geared turbine main propulsion unit. This is the correct location because the illustration depicts a coupling or shaft that connects the turbine rotors to the high-speed pinions, which then engage the reduction gears to power the propeller. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the location of the part shown in the illustration within the turbine propulsion system. Options A, B, and C refer to different components and connections that are not depicted in the provided illustration.
