Is there a flaw in the pipeline design as shown in Figure 4? (select one): (A) The strainer and foot valve should not be used as the combination may cause cavitation. (B) The foot valve should not be used as it may cause cavitation. (C) The pump should be placed at a higher elevation to prevent cavitation from occurring. (D) The gate valve should not be placed on the suction side of the pump as it may cause cavitation. (E) The intake is not placed deep enough below the water surface of the river as it may cause cavitation. (F) None
