Both.

Explanation:

Here in this case both the technicians are right.

An engine's size is called displacement and represents the volume displaced or swept by all of the pistons. It can also be expressed in the terms as the distance between TDC to BDC. Hence Technician A is right.

Also, engine power is expressed in horsepower and based on the amount of torque or twisting force the engine produces, which is correct statement and hence, both statements are correct.
