                The cetane rating of diesel fuel refers to it's ability to "light on contact". So therefore, the answer I believe is "ignition quality".

                We are not igniting Diesel. So, the delay period is more correct right?
Anyone, please clarify.

                Its correct is ignition quality and cetane no is increased then the quality is improved.

                Fuel with lower cetane no have more ignition delay. So, the delay period is right.

                No, delay period is D right answer, ignition quality is measure by octane number.

                No it is not right. It is the measurement of quality of ignition.

                Cetane number is a measure by ignition quality of diesel fuel.

                Cetan no of diesel engine explained us delay period.

                This is decided as per knock value of the fuels.
