Amore temperature differential
Breduced slime and mold
Cincreased moisture content
Dincreased density of the air
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) reduced slime and mold. Proper air circulation in an air-conditioned cargo space helps maintain the proper temperature and humidity levels, which in turn reduces the risk of slime and mold growth. Slime and mold can damage cargo and create unhygienic conditions, so maintaining adequate air circulation is crucial for preserving the integrity of the cargo. The other options are incorrect because: A) more temperature differential is not a direct benefit of air circulation, C) increased moisture content could actually contribute to mold growth, and D) increased density of the air is not a relevant factor for air circulation in this context.
