Acrankshaft to the gear train
Brocker arm to the camshaft
Cengine to the bed
Dpiston to the crankshaft
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) piston to the crankshaft. Connecting rods in a diesel engine are used to connect the piston to the crankshaft. The connecting rod transfers the force from the piston's reciprocating motion to the rotating motion of the crankshaft, allowing the engine to generate power. This is a fundamental design and function of a diesel engine. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the purpose of connecting rods. Connecting rods do not connect the crankshaft to the gear train (A), the rocker arm to the camshaft (B), or the engine to the bed (C).
