Answer

Brief Explanations:

According to Boyle's law, pressure and volume are inversely - related for a given amount of gas at constant temperature. As the piston compresses the fuel vapors, pressure builds up and volume decreases to a minimum. Density ($\rho=\frac{m}{V}$) is inversely proportional to volume. When volume is minimum, density is maximum.

Answer:

D. minimum; maximum
