Final answer:

On a typical air source heat pump outdoor unit, you would not find the condenser coil, as it is usually located on the indoor unit where the heat is released.

Step-by-step explanation:

The component you would NOT find on a typical air source heat pump outdoor unit is c. Evaporator coil. The typical components of a heat pump are the compressor, condenser coil, evaporator coil, and expansion valve. However, in the context of the outdoor unit of a heat pump in heating mode, the outdoor unit contains the evaporator coils where the energy is absorbed from the colder outdoor air. The indoor unit usually contains the condenser coils where the heat is released into the heated space.
