Looks like the equipment needs a little duct tape and WD-40 to solve those pesky leak issues. Just sayin'.

If the equipment is so unreliable that it leaks due to a tertiary failure, I think we have bigger problems than just this exam question!

Tertiary failures due to valve gland packing leaks? That's a new one for me. I'm going to have to go with either A or B on this one.

I agree, but I also think primary failures, such as leaks due to severe corrosion, are a major concern.

Hmm, primary failures such as severe corrosion also sound like a valid cause of leaks. I'm torn between A and B.

Secondary failures like loss of utilities can definitely lead to equipment leaks. Choosing A seems like the safest bet here.
