Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (a) Pressure relief VALVE

To ELABORATE: A pressure relief valve MAINTAINS the pressure in the system. If the pressure is low, the spring holds the plug against the seat. When the pressure has reached a certain value, the FORCE on the plug overcomes the spring force and the valve opens.
