Answer:

D. How can the efficiency of an existing engine be improved?​

Step-by-step explanation:

  • As the two engines are of the same amount of fuel consumption and more efficient the engine gets more efficient out can do more work and thus scientist think of the question as to how or which part of the technological progress can be made so as to develop a much faster and better technology that is economical and reliable.
