Aconnecting rod cap
Bbearing shell
Cconnecting rod bushing
Dpiston bushing
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) connecting rod bushing. The connecting rod bushing is the part labeled "G" in the illustration MO-0040. The connecting rod bushing is a crucial component that connects the connecting rod to the crankshaft, allowing the smooth rotation of the engine. It provides a bearing surface between the two parts, enabling the efficient transfer of power from the piston to the crankshaft. The other options are incorrect because: A) a connecting rod cap is a separate component that secures the connecting rod to the crankshaft, B) a bearing shell is a different part that supports the crankshaft, and D) a piston bushing is a separate component that guides the piston within the cylinder.
