I recall that 175 F is too high for Chloride SCC concerns, so I think it must be lower, maybe around 140 F?

I’m leaning towards 120 F being the right answer, but I’m not completely confident. It’s tricky with all the temperature limits.

I'm drawing a blank on the temperature limit for 300 Series SS in sour water. I'll have to make an educated guess here. Maybe 150 F? I'll go with option C and hope for the best.

Okay, I've got this. The key is that 300 Series SS can be used in sour water service as long as the temperature is below the point where chloride SCC becomes a concern. I believe the limit is 140 F, so I'll go with option B.
