70% to passWhich of the listed diesel engine starting systems is most susceptible to difficulties in cold weather?

BHydraulic
CElectric
DAir motor starting
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Electric. Electric starting systems are most susceptible to difficulties in cold weather compared to the other options. This is because cold temperatures can reduce the battery's cranking power and capacity, making it harder for the electric starter to crank the engine effectively. In contrast, direct cylinder admission air start (A), hydraulic (B), and air motor starting (D) systems are less affected by cold weather, as they do not rely on the battery performance.
