Answer»

Correct option is (C) Centrifugal pump

Explanation: Centrifugal pump is not a positive displacement pump. Reciprocating pumps move liquid by means of a constant back-and-forth motion of a PISTON, plunger, or diaphragm within a fixed volume or cylinder. Reciprocating pumps can handle viscous and abrasive fluids. They are low-speed machines when compared with centrifugal and ROTARY.
