Correct choice is (d) Spark plug misfire

To elaborate: Piston scuffing occurs due to excessive heat the piston expands and becomes tight in the cylinder. The main reasons for this are insufficient lubrication of cylinder walls, overloading the engine, detonation. Whereas spark plug misfire does not affect.
