API RP 571 on Naphthenic Acid Corrosion (NAC) details:
“NAC is most aggressive in two-phase flow where the shear stress is high, such as in elbows, reducers, and at orifices.”
“High velocity and turbulence in two-phase flow strip protective layers and accelerate corrosion.”
Therefore, option A is the correct and most critical phase.
