A
less electrolyte is required to maintain the batteries' charge
B
ventilation supplies extra oxygen for charging the battery
C
ventilation avoids flammable gas accumulation
D
ventilation avoids CO2 build up
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) ventilation avoids flammable gas accumulation. Spaces containing batteries require good ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable hydrogen gas that is produced during the battery charging process. This gas can be explosive if allowed to accumulate, so ventilation is necessary to disperse it and maintain a safe environment. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not address the primary safety concern of flammable gas buildup in battery compartments.
