Answer: Technician B is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Evacuation process is used in refrigeration systems to remove moisture, air and non-profit condensable gases in order to achieve maximum function of the system.

vacuum pump is used to draw the sealed AC system into a vacuum. Evacuation of a refrigerant system also helps to maintain pressure, this is so as pulling a vacuum on the system is simply removing matter (mostly air and nitrogen) from inside the system so that the pressure inside drops below atmospheric pressure.
