Option A, Nitrogen, is a commonly used inert gas and option C, Carbon Dioxide, is used as a refrigerant and might not be readily available for leak-checking. Option D, Helium, is also a common choice for leak-checking, but it may be costly and not available in all facilities. Therefore, option B, Oxygen, should never be used as it poses a safety risk.
