Answer»

Right option is (c) To generate steam at constant pressure

For explanation I would say: FUNCTION of boiler is to generate steam at constant pressure as per the process REQUIREMENT. The steam generated MAY be nearly dry saturated or superheated steam. Constant pressure in the boiler is MAINTAINED by GENERATING the steam equal to the steam flowing out of the boiler.
