Answer:

Technician B only is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The last stage of gears found between the vehicle transmission system and the wheels is the final drive ratio. The function of the final drive gear assembly is to enable a gear reduction control stage to reduce the rotation per minute and increase the wheel torque, such that the vehicle performance can be adjusted and the final gear ratio can be between 3:1 and 4.5:1 not 1:1

Therefore, technician B only is correct
