Which of the following is NOT listed as a component of a sprayer?

• A. Tank
• B. Pump
• C. Strainers
• D. Filter

Answer: (D)

The main idea is how a sprayer is kept working smoothly: you need a tank to hold the liquid, a pump to create pressure, and a way to prevent debris from clogging the system. The component that does the filtering in most standard sprayer setups is a strainer, which screens out debris before the liquid reaches the pump and nozzle. In common Colorado QS/CO practice materials, the filtration function is described with strainers rather than as a separate unit called a filter. So, a standalone filter isn’t listed as a sprayer component in that context, making it the item that isn’t listed. If a filtering element is present, it’s typically accounted for as part of the strainer arrangement or integrated elsewhere rather than as a distinct filter component.
