Answer:BOTH TECHNICIAN A TECHNICIAN B

Explanation:Oil pump is a major component of a vehicle which helps to improve and extend the life span of the engine of a vehicle,most modern vehicles contain Oil pumps which are located in the front and are turned or rotated by the Crankshaft.

Some oil pumps in a distribution-type ignition system are driven by the distributor of the vehicle. A distribution-type ignition system has a drive shaft between the pump and the distributor through which a cam causes a movement which drives the pump.
