AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) E. The item labeled E in the illustration SG-0011 represents the steam drum's skimmer, which is the means by which floating impurities are removed from the steam drum. The skimmer allows the removal of any oil, grease, or other floating contaminants from the surface of the water in the steam drum, helping to maintain the purity of the steam produced. The other options, B, J, and L, represent different components of the steam drum system, such as the water level gauge, the steam outlet, and the water inlet, respectively, but they do not directly address the removal of floating impurities.
