AI Explanation
A) personnel air supply is the correct answer. Bottles of compressed air in survival craft are used to provide an additional air supply for the crew and passengers in the event of an emergency. This allows them to breathe safely while awaiting rescue, particularly in inclement weather or if the craft becomes partially submerged. The other options are incorrect - the compressed air is not used for additional flotation, priming a sprinkler system, or filling self-righting bags, which have different purposes and systems within the survival craft.
