The correct response is:
Oxygen and gasoline are compressed in the engine, and a spark plug ignites the fuel.
In a typical gas engine, the air-fuel mixture composed of oxygen (from the air) and gasoline is compressed within the engine's cylinders, and the spark plug generates a spark that ignites the mixture, leading to combustion.
