Dintegral with a non-removable sleeve
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) a wet liner. In a wet liner cylinder construction, the cylinder liner is in direct contact with the cooling system, allowing for better heat transfer and cooling of the cylinder. This design is commonly used in diesel engines, as it helps to manage the high temperatures and pressures generated during the combustion process. The other options are incorrect because: A) a dry liner is not in direct contact with the cooling system, C) a removable sleeve is not the same as a wet liner, and D) a non-removable sleeve is also not the same as a wet liner.
