Default Test question about air brakes...

My employer gave us a take-home quiz, and one question is confusing me:

Here's the question:

If the air compressor develops a leak, WHAT keeps the air in the tanks?

a) The one-way check valve
b) The emergency relay valve
c) Nothing
d) The tractor protection valve


What say you???

The check valve.
