When the day’s work is complete, it’s time for the crewmembers to get some shuteye. There are two special sleep chambers onboard the station, but astronauts usually just attach sleeping bags to parts of the station when it’s time to turn in. Because the sun rises every ninety minutes during a mission, the crew covers the windows to reproduce the darkness of night so they can get some well-deserved rest. In exactly eight hours, mission control will wake them up to start the process all over again! What is MOST likely the reason that astronauts attach their sleeping bags to parts of the station? A) to give their coworkers their own space B) to prevent them from floating in their sleep Eliminate C) to reduce the risk of being disturbed by sunlight D) to make the cockpit a more comfortable environment

I would say it's B

Because it is zero gravity in space and they will float in the air while they sleep if they are not tied down by something properly.

The correct answer is B. To prevent them from floating in their sleep

Explanation:

The text presented includes multiple details about the activities astronauts doe while being in a space station or while being in the space especially as the workday ends such as sleeping for eight hours, covering the windows and attaching the sleeping bags about this last detail it can be inferred the reason why astronauts attach the sleeping bags is "to prevent them from floating in their sleep" because this text is related to the context of the space and it is general knowledge in the space and even insider spatial stations there is no gravity and this causes everything floats if it is not attached including astronauts and sleeping bags.
