    Correct Answer
    A. House Drain
    Explanation
    The correct answer is House Drain. The term "collection line" refers to the pipe or system that collects wastewater from various fixtures in a plumbing system and carries it to the main sewer line or septic tank. In this context, the House Drain is the most appropriate option as it is specifically designed to collect wastewater from different areas of a house, such as sinks, toilets, showers, and appliances, and transport it to the main sewer line. The other options, Soil Drain, Waste Drain, and Main Drain, may be part of the overall plumbing system but do not specifically refer to the collection line.
