Correct answer

  • BPara limpiar el aire que se mezcla con el combustible.To clean the air that is mixed with the fuel.

The air filter holds back dust and particles from the air entering the engine to be mixed with the fuel. If it is dirty, the engine gets less air, loses power and uses more fuel. It has nothing to do with cooling or heating.
