What is the purpose of a ventilation system on a vessel?

To avoid explosions by removing flammable gases
To provide fresh air to passengers
To cool the engine
To remove water from the vessel

The correct answer is: To avoid explosions by removing flammable gases

A ventilation system on a vessel serves the purpose of removing flammable gases in order to prevent potential explosions. This is especially crucial in enclosed spaces, as the accumulation of flammable gases can pose a significant safety hazard. Options B, C, and D do not address this specific purpose of a ventilation system and therefore are incorrect. While providing fresh air, cooling the engine, and removing water from the vessel may all be benefits of a properly functioning ventilation system, they are not the primary purpose.
