Yes, "overbook" is a compound word. It combines the prefix "over-" with the verb "book," creating a new meaning that refers to the practice of selling more reservations or tickets than available capacity. This term is commonly used in the context of airlines and hotels.

Which of these statements does not explain why airlines overbook flights?

Airlines want to fill as many seat on the flight as possible. The airlines have an algorithm which predicts that passengers will not show for a flight for one reason or another. So they overbook. There are passengers that catch an earlier flight, don't show for the flight, or are late getting to the flight. The only way an airline makes money is to have someone in that seat. Typically someone booking at last minute is a very high price, so it works out cheaper for the airline to accept that booking and bump off a lower fare with compensation.
