Technician A is correct.

Explanation:

Stroke of the engine means how far is the piston moves during the cycle. It is determined by the crank of the crank shaft. Engine displacement volume is calculated by multiplying length of the stroke to the piston displacement area.

If there are more than one cylinder in the engine, than in that case this number in multiplied by the number of the cylinders inside the engine.

Therefore technician A is correct.
