AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) mix the fuel and air. The carburetor is responsible for properly mixing the fuel and air in the correct ratio for efficient combustion in the engine. Its primary function is to take the liquid fuel from the fuel tank and mix it with air before it enters the engine cylinders. This air-fuel mixture is then ignited by the spark plugs to power the engine. The other answer choices do not accurately describe the main purpose of the carburetor in an engine system.
