Correct answer
Spark-ignition and compression-ignition engines.
Spark-ignition engines, such as petrol engines, and compression-ignition engines, such as diesels. Both are internal combustion engines; it is incorrect to contrast petrol with combustion as if petrol engines did not burn fuel. Cars can also use electric motors or combine combustion and electric power in hybrid systems.
