Aput it into a container of water
Btear off the tabs on the canister
Cturn it upside down
Dpush 'on' button
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) tear off the tabs on the canister. To activate an air regeneration canister on a survival craft, you need to tear off the tabs on the canister. This exposes the chemicals inside the canister, which then begin producing oxygen to replenish the air in the survival craft. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not properly activate the air regeneration process. Putting the canister in water, turning it upside down, or pushing an 'on' button do not initiate the chemical reaction needed to generate oxygen from the canister.
