Hmm, I was split between B) and D), but I think B) is the safest bet. Can't be too careful with those boilers, am I right?

I was tempted to go with A) Oxide scavengers, but I guess that's not the right approach for boiler feed water. B) is the way to go.

B) Oxygen scavengers, hands down. I can almost smell the hydrazine from here!
