Answer 2

C. when the valve open and closes

Step-by-step explanation:

Timing gears are connected from the crankshaft to the camshaft by means of either chains, belts or gears. The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft and the gear train controls and operates the valve timing to open and close the inlet valve and the outlet valve at the proper timings. The valve timings of the opening and closing of the valves are very important otherwise it will lead to the poor intake and exhaust of the charges inside the cylinder. This make the engine less efficient.
