Solution

The correct option is D
high temperature and high pressure
A boiler is used to produce steam at high pressure and temperature. This can be understood by the fact that when water is heated, its temperature and pressure increases, in similar fashion a boiler uses heat produced by burning of fuel to heat up water to produce steam at high pressure and temperature.
