 Explanation:

In a The correct answer is:

(a) air only

Explanation:

In a diesel engine (compression-ignition engine), during the suction stroke, the engine draws in air only. Diesel engines do not mix fuel with air during the intake process. The diesel fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber at a high pressure at the time of compression, where it ignites due to the high temperature generated by compression.
