AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) an air supply for personnel. The bottles of compressed air supplied with survival craft are used to provide an emergency air supply for the personnel onboard in the event of an emergency. This allows the crew and passengers to breathe safely while the survival craft is deployed. The compressed air is not used for filling self-righting bags, priming sprinkler systems, or providing additional flotation, which are the incorrect answer choices.
