Correct answer
By means of a belt or chain.
A belt or a chain, depending on the system. A chain engages sprocket teeth; it does not transmit by friction over a smooth pulley. A V-belt transmits through friction on pulleys, whereas a toothed belt meshes with them. Vehicles do not all use the same transmission system.
