API RP 571, under Organic Acid Corrosion, highlights:
“Corrosive organic acids in overhead systems are those that condense at temperatures above the water dew point. These acids condense independently of water and can form highly concentrated corrosive films.”
“When acids condense first, they aggressively corrode carbon steel prior to any water wash mitigation.”
(Reference: API RP 571, Section 4.3.3.9 – Organic Acid Corrosion)
Hence, option D correctly identifies the most aggressive corrosion scenario.
