What describes an inboard engine?

A type of power source attached to the stern of a boat
A four-stroke automotive engine adapted for marine use, mounted inside the hull
Called inboard/outboard motors
Most common in small boats

The correct answer is: A four-stroke automotive engine adapted for marine use, mounted inside the hull

An inboard engine is a type of power source mounted inside the hull of a boat. This is different from an outboard engine, which is attached to the stern of the boat. Option A is describing an outboard engine, not an inboard engine. Option C is not a proper description of an inboard engine, but may refer to a type of marine motor that combines both inboard and outboard components. Option D is incorrect because inboard engines are used in a variety of boat sizes, not just small boats.
