70% to passA normally operating diesel engine is shutdown by_______________.
Ashutting off the air supply
Boverspeeding the engine
Csecuring the fuel supply
Dsecuring the ignition system
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) securing the fuel supply. In a diesel engine, the engine is shut down by cutting off the fuel supply. This is because diesel engines rely on the compression of air to ignite the fuel, and shutting off the fuel supply stops the combustion process, causing the engine to shut down. Shutting off the air supply (A), overspeeding the engine (B), or securing the ignition system (D) would not effectively shut down a normally operating diesel engine.
