Which outcome occurs when direct injection spark-ignition engine compression ratio exceeds octane rating limit?

💡 Explanation

When compression ratio exceeds the fuel's octane rating, autoignition occurs because the increased pressure and temperature cause uncontrolled combustion before spark ignition, resulting in engine knock caused by pressure waves. Therefore engine knock results, rather than other failures which require different operational or mechanical breakdowns.
