The evaporator

  1. Adds heat to the refrigerant

  2. Condenses the refrigerant

  3. Removes heat from the refrigerated space

  4. Transfers heat from the refrigerated space to the refrigerant

The correct answer is: Adds heat to the refrigerant

The correct answer is A. The evaporator adds heat to the refrigerant. In an air conditioning system, the evaporator coils absorb heat from the indoor air as the refrigerant evaporates. This process cools the air inside the space being conditioned. So, the evaporator is responsible for absorbing heat, not removing it or condensing the refrigerant.
