Which consequence results when incomplete combustion occurs in a diesel engine?

💡 Explanation

Burning fuel with insufficient oxygen invokes pyrolysis, resulting in increased particulate matter emissions, mainly soot formation, because pyrolysis breaks large hydrocarbons instead of oxidizing them completely; therefore emissions increase rather than improving power output or fuel efficiency.
