AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) prevents sparks from getting out of an engine's exhaust system. A spark arrestor is a device installed on the exhaust system of an engine that prevents sparks or hot carbon particles from being emitted, which could potentially ignite flammable vapors or materials. This is an important safety feature, especially on vessels where there may be flammable liquids or gases present. The other answer choices do not accurately describe the function of a spark arrestor.
