DCold valve clearance is measured between components "C" and "D".
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Cold valve clearance is measured between components "C" and "D". The valve clearance is typically measured between the rocker arm (C) and the valve stem (D) when the engine is cold. This ensures that the correct clearance is set to allow for thermal expansion of the components during engine operation. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not correctly identify the components involved in measuring the valve clearance on this type of engine setup.
