Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — An air tank will provide about ten minutes of air for the survivors and the engine.

Totally enclosed motor lifeboats operating in fire zones rely on a compressed air cylinder system. This dedicated air supply maintains positive internal pressure and provides breathing air for survivors and the engine for at least ten minutes.
