Answer»

Right CHOICE is (a) Steel

To explain: In a wire wound piston a band of steel wire under initial tension is put between the piston pin and the oil control ring, THUS restricting the expansion of the skirt which is of SLIP TYPE or cam ground type. The main REASON to wire-wound is to avoid piston slap.
