Correct answer

  • BLa pérdida del control y derrapeLoss of control and skidding.
Explanation

When the wheels lock, they stop turning and slide over the road surface: they lose grip, the vehicle no longer responds to the steering and it may skid. That is why braking until the wheels lock does not stop the vehicle sooner, but it does cause loss of control.
