One effect of detonation is

A Delay in ignition
B Loss of power
C Overheating of engine
D Overcooling of engine

Correct Answer: Loss of power

When detonation occurs, the fuel charge ignites quickly in an uncontrolled explosion, causing a pounding or hammering force on the piston rather than a steady push.
Moderate to severe detonation could be noticed as engine roughness, vibration or loss of power and eventually engine damage.
