Solution
The correct option is A Expansion stroke
Water is heated in a boiler where it is converted into steam, this steam is then pushed into a chamber which has a piston. This steam because of the high pressure then pushes the piston in the forward direction which in turn moves the crankshaft. The crankshaft is connected to the wheel and hence the wheel makes half a rotation. This whole stroke is called the expansion stroke.
