The correct answer for this question is B. The inducer is an axial-flow impeller that is mounted directly upstream of the first-stage impeller of the centrifugal pump, and it rotates synchronously with it. The inducer wheel is used to reduce the static positive suction head of a centrifugal pump, and this is achieved by increasing the static pressure at the inlet of the first impeller stage of the centrifugal pump. The swirl that is induced and flows out (with a rotation direction identical to that of the centrifugal pump’s impeller; see: liquid inlet conditions) also contributes to reducing the net positive suction head of the centrifugal pump.

The swirl that is induced and flows out (with a rotation direction identical to that of the centrifugal pump’s impeller; see: liquid inlet conditions) also contributes to reducing the net positive suction head of the centrifugal pump. To prevent cavitation, which occurs when steam bubbles on the pressure surface of the impeller block the flow channel cross-section while the impeller is operating in the overload range, the design flow rate of the impeller is usually set at 1.5–2.3 times the rated flow rate of the centrifugal pump. As a result, when the centrifugal pump is in operation, the impeller always operates in the partial-load range, providing the necessary pressure boost for the pump’s impeller.
An inducer wheel is a device installed at the pump inlet to improve the pump’s cavitation performance and reduce NPSHr. The principle is essentially to first pressurize the fluid, raising its pressure above the saturated vapor pressure. The inducer wheel is actually an impeller that is ( ). B axial flow type

Well, it increases the inlet pressure by means of axial flow compression
