Which of the following are distinct circuits of a high tension magneto?

Magnetic, primary, and secondary.
Magnetic, E-gap, and P lead.
Primary, P lead, and secondary.
Secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.

The correct answer is: Magnetic, primary, and secondary.

The three distinct circuits of a high tension magneto are the magnetic circuit, primary circuit, and secondary circuit. The other options are incorrect because they include components that are not part of the distinct circuits. Option B includes an E-gap, which is not a distinct circuit but a component of the magnetic circuit. Option C includes a P lead, which is not a distinct circuit but a component of the primary circuit. Option D includes tertiary and quaternary circuits, which do not exist in a high tension magneto.
