AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) prevent backflow of water from the boiler in the event of a feed pump failure.

This is an important safety feature to prevent damage to the boiler and ensure a reliable supply of feed water. The other answer choices do not accurately describe the primary function of the main feed check valve.
