Correct answer

  • CDe tal forma que no comprometa la estabilidad del vehículo.In such a way that it does not compromise the vehicle's stability.
Explanation

A load carried on a car's roof rack must be placed safely and properly secured. It is essential that it does not move while driving or change the way the vehicle behaves. Poor distribution can affect balance, steering or braking. It is also important not to exceed the vehicle's maximum capacity. All of this contributes to more stable and safer driving.
