Which process reduces overall efficiency when combustion engine compression ratio increases beyond limits?

A)Increased heat loss to coolant
B)Premature detonation of air-fuel mix
C)Elevation of exhaust gas recirculation
D)Reduction of effective intake stroke

💡 Explanation

When the compression ratio increases excessively, pre-ignition occurs because the air-fuel mixture temperature rises beyond its auto-ignition point, leading to uncontrolled combustion. Therefore premature detonation results, rather than heat loss, elevated EGR, shortened intake which are influenced by separate conditions.
