The sudden increase in speed of Voyager II as it approached Saturn was not due to onboard rockets being fired because the spacecraft was not equipped with rockets for propulsion. The correct answer is:

The gravitational pull of Saturn increased as the probe got closer to the planet.

As Voyager II approached Saturn, the planet's gravitational pull started to affect the spacecraft more strongly. This gravitational attraction led to the acceleration of Voyager II, causing its speed to increase from 17 km/s to 34 km/s without the need for onboard rockets or other propulsion methods.
