Answer:

(a) Would it be better to buy a car with a diesel engine or a gasoline engine?

Explanation:

Note that this option has an economic appeal which is cost comparison. Engineering analysis here would seek to determine the economic advantage of such purchase.

For example, one may consider from the engineering economics perspective the fuel consumption ratio per mile for diesel engines and gasoline engines their relative cost per liter.
