Which outcome occurs when an internal combustion engine's air-fuel mixture auto-ignites prior to spark?

💡 Explanation

Cylinder detonation occurs because uncontrolled, premature combustion increases peak pressures via uncontrolled flame propagation, therefore pressures sharply rise, rather than a controlled burn; other options involve different mechanisms that reduce, not cause, detonation.
