Which one of the following statement is correct with regard to the viscous coupling?
A. The outer and inner plates contained in the viscous coupling engage as a result of the pressure generated by the difference in their speeds, and in doing so they transfer torque
B. In the viscous coupling, the viscosity of the silicone oil limits the speed differential between the outer and inner plates
C. In the viscous coupling, torque is transferred between the outer and inner plates through the action of ATF
D. Engine oil is supplied to the viscous coupling for cooling and lubrication
