Final answer:

Direct Spark Igniters create an electrical discharge across a gap between electrodes with a high voltage applied, whereby electrons leap across the electrodes to form a spark.

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct Spark Igniters create a(n) electrical discharge across the gap between 2 electrodes, and a high voltage is applied to the electrodes. The spark happens when electrons leap across the electrodes.

Given the options presented, the most accurate answer is A. Electrical discharge, gap, high current, electrons, spark plug. However, this appears to contain a typo or mistake since direct spark igniters typically use a high voltage rather than a high current. Hence, the corrected statement should be: Direct Spark Igniters create an electrical discharge across the gap between 2 electrodes, and a high voltage is applied to create a spark as electrons leap across the electrodes.

The information provided concerning spark chambers and the voltage required to create a spark are beneficial to understanding the principles behind spark creation and supports the corrected answer by emphasizing the high voltage required to initiate a spark across a gap.
