Acetylene at a line pressure above 15 PSI:

  1. Is the optimal working pressure

  2. Enhances the flame stability

  3. Is perfectly safe

  4. Is dangerously unstable

The correct answer is: Is dangerously unstable

Acetylene is a highly flammable and unstable gas. When the line pressure exceeds 15 PSI, it can become dangerously unstable and prone to explosion, making option D the correct answer. Operating acetylene above the recommended pressure can lead to hazardous situations, which is why it is crucial to follow safety guidelines and only use acetylene at the prescribed pressures.
