Which consequence results when lubricating oil supply fails within an internal combustion engine?

A)Piston scoring and cylinder seizure
B)Increased fuel injector nozzle clogging
C)Premature catalytic converter deterioration
D)Elevated exhaust manifold backpressure

💡 Explanation

Piston scoring and cylinder seizure occur because the oil film normally prevents direct metal contact, a *boundary lubrication failure*. Therefore, increased friction causes overheating and galling, rather than affecting the fuel injectors or catalytic converter due to lack of lubrication.
