Looks like the equipment needs a little duct tape and WD-40 to solve those pesky leak issues. Just sayin'.

If the equipment is so unreliable that it leaks due to a tertiary failure, I think we have bigger problems than just this exam question!

Tertiary failures due to valve gland packing leaks? That's a new one for me. I'm going to have to go with either A or B on this one.

I see your point, but I still think C could be a factor with tertiary failures from valve gland packing leaks.

Hmm, primary failures such as severe corrosion also sound like a valid cause of leaks. I'm torn between A and B.
