The engine flywheel bolts to the?

  1. axle

  2. crankshaft

  3. piston

  4. transmission

The correct answer is: crankshaft

The engine flywheel is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the transmission. The axle, although an integral part of the drivetrain, is responsible for connecting the wheels to the transmission, not the flywheel. The piston is a component of the engine that moves up and down to generate power, but is not responsible for connecting to the flywheel. The transmission is connected to the flywheel via the crankshaft, making B the correct answer.
