The tubes in deicer boots are alternately inflated to keep disturbance of the airflow to a minimum. By inflating the tubes alternately, a smooth flow of air over the wings or other aircraft surfaces is maintained. This minimizes disruptions to the airflow pattern and helps ensure the effectiveness of the deicing system.

Regarding the other options:

- Option B ("To increase the ice removal efficiency") may seem plausible, but the main purpose of alternating inflation is to maintain smooth airflow, rather than specifically to enhance ice removal efficiency.

- Option C ("For mechanical simplicity") is not the primary reason for alternating inflation of deicer boots; the main purpose is to minimize airflow disturbance.

- Option D ("To reduce electrical consumption") is not related to the alternating inflation of the deicer boots; it is more about the electrical system's efficiency in deicing operations.
