I think it's C) Carbon dioxide content because it can increase the acidity of the water.

I dunno, but if I had to pick, I'd say the answer is F. Unicorn tears. Those things are expensive, you know?

E. Temperature? Really? That's the one that's not a major factor? Boilers must run on magic or something.

Hmm, I'm going with B. Oxygen content. Gotta keep those bubbles out of the boiler, am I right?

D. Process pH has got to be the right answer here. It's the only one that's not a major factor in condensate corrosion.

I think the answer is C. Carbon dioxide content. That's the one that wouldn't directly contribute to boiler water condensate corrosion.
