The airbag is a passive safety device that is activated in a collision. Its main function is to reduce injuries to critical areas of the body, such as the head and chest. By inflating quickly, the airbag helps cushion the impact and reduces the chance of severe injuries, especially to the face and neck, caused by pieces of glass and other dangerous objects inside the vehicle. This is supported by the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), which stress the importance of having safety equipment such as the airbag. So the correct answer is the one about reducing the risk of facial injuries.
