I agree @Prince. If we plot PV diagram- we see for same compression ratio the maximum temperature achieved by the Otto cycle is higher than that of diesel cycle. Also, there is no such difference can be determined unless it is not given in case of cont Volume heat rejection.

@Prince.
As we know about petrol. It has a lower flash point, so there is a low temperature at heat addition time. The given answer is correct.

Condition is given the same compression ratio and heat input so the comparison would be done on Q2 i.e. Heat rejection. Lower Q2 means higher efficiency. Q2 Otto is less than that of diesel so efficiency of Otto is high. Option D is correct.
