Technician B is correct. The stator redirects the fluid leaving the turbine back to the impeller, which creates a more efficient flow of fluid through the turbine. This redirection is achieved by altering the angle of the fluid flow, and the stator achieves it without itself rotating. The fluid passing through the stator is the fluid that has to make a U-turn back to the impeller.
