Answer:

Option B.

Technician A only

Explanation:

Since we are talking about the most important function of a piston, the technician A is correct.

A piston is used to transfer force from expanding gas in the cylinder to the crankshaft , in an engine.

In a pump, its purpose is compressing or ejecting the fluid in the cylinder.

Technician B is not correct, because piston rings are used for creating a seal between piston and cylinder walls.
