AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) all of the above. The air spaces in the floor of an inflatable raft provide protection against tears in the outside skin of the bottom of the raft, as well as protection against both warm and cold water temperatures. The air-filled compartments act as insulation, preventing damage to the raft and helping to maintain a stable temperature inside the raft, which is crucial for the safety and comfort of the occupants. The other answer choices are incorrect because they only address one or two of the protective functions provided by the air spaces in the raft's floor.
