A Prevents smoke and other noxious fumes from entering craft
B Provides air for engine combustion
C Pressurizes water spray system
D Provides air for passenger respiration
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Pressurizes water spray system. The air supply of a covered lifeboat is not intended to pressurize the water spray system. The air supply serves to prevent smoke and other noxious fumes from entering the craft (A), provide air for engine combustion (B), and supply air for passenger respiration (D). The water spray system is typically pressurized by a separate system, such as a manual or powered pump, and does not rely on the lifeboat's air supply.
