Julia notices that the “check engine” light comes on while driving her car on days with temperatures of over 100 degrees. What could be a plausible explanation for this?

A check engine light that appears specifically on very hot days could plausibly be related to the engine overheating in the high outside temperature. This supports choice B, “Her engine overheats when the temperature outside is over 100 degrees.” The observation alone does not show that the engine must be replaced or that it cannot withstand high temperatures at all.
