Description

Explanation

Correct answer: They reduce bodily injuries which may be suffered by the driver and passengers as a result of a crash.

Airbags are part of a vehicle's passive safety system. Their main function is to cushion the impact and reduce bodily injuries, especially to the head and chest, during a collision. They work most effectively in conjunction with properly fastened seat belts.
