AMechanical
BHydraulic
CElectromagnetic
DPneumatic
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Hydraulic. The illustration MO-0089 likely depicts a hydraulic clutch system, which is commonly used in marine propulsion systems. Hydraulic clutches use fluid pressure to engage and disengage the clutch, providing smooth and controlled power transmission between the engine and the propeller shaft. The other options are incorrect because: A) Mechanical clutches use physical components like gears or plates to transmit power, B) Electromagnetic clutches use an electromagnetic field to engage the clutch, and D) Pneumatic clutches use compressed air to actuate the clutch, none of which are consistent with the illustration provided.
