What is called as ignition of fuel itself under higher temperature instead of ignition from the spark plug? Correct Answer Detonation

Detonation is a process of spontaneous combustion of a few amounts of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder of internal combustion engines, but before the actual ignition and not in the normal flame front. It can cause higher pressure inside the piston cylinder and there will be a pinging sound. It is called as knocking.
