Best answer
The correct choice is (a) Blowers

Easy explanation: The Tuyeres are the components in the cupola that extend through the steel shell and refractory wall to the combustion zone and supply air necessary for the combustion. Hence, the wind box that surrounds the cupola supplies the air evenly to all the tuyeres.
