AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) personnel air supply. Bottles of compressed air in survival craft are used to provide an air supply for the personnel aboard in the event of an emergency. This allows the occupants to breathe safely while awaiting rescue, especially if the survival craft becomes partially or fully submerged. The compressed air is not used for additional flotation (B), priming a sprinkler system (C), or filling self-righting bags (D), which are different purposes not associated with the compressed air bottles.
