I would like to ask this question from IC Engine in chapter Design of IC Engine Components of Automotive Engine Design

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) To guide the piston

The best I can explain: The two primary functions of the cylinder is to act as the combustion chamber in the engine and to guide the piston movement. The crankshaft’s function is to transfer rotary motion.
