AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Pressurized tank. The air charge for an air starting system is stored in a pressurized tank. This tank is designed to hold compressed air that is used to start the engine when the vessel is not running. The compressed air in the tank is maintained at a specific pressure to ensure reliable engine starts. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) The air compressor generates the compressed air but does not store it. C) The distributor assembly distributes the compressed air to the engine, but does not store it. D) The cylinder check valve allows air to flow into the cylinder but does not store the air charge.
