I definitely remember that copper is usually not recommended for pressure applications, so I think that option can be ruled out.

I have a vague memory that HDPE piping is more for drainage and not typically used for pressure systems, but I could be wrong.

I practiced a similar question about piping materials, and I feel like CPVC was mentioned as suitable for certain applications, but I can't recall if it applies to pressure maintenance pumps.

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. The key is that the piping needs to be able to withstand the pressure of the pump. I think the best choice here is B - black or galvanized steel piping.

I'm a little unsure about this one. I know the piping needs to be able to handle the pressure, but I'm not sure if copper, CPVC, or HDPE would be acceptable. I'll have to review the course materials to refresh my memory.
