Cdiesel oil
Dliquefied gas
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) diesel oil. Survival craft engines, such as those used in lifeboats and life rafts on ships, are typically powered by diesel engines. Diesel oil is the standard fuel used for these engines because it is more stable and less volatile than other fuel types, making it safer for use in enclosed survival craft. Kerosene, unleaded gasoline, and liquefied gas are not the recommended fuels for survival craft engines due to their higher flammability and potential safety hazards in the confined spaces of a lifeboat or life raft.
