  • ANo influye, sólo depende del estado de los frenos.It has no effect; it only depends on the condition of the brakes.
  • BNo influye, la eficacia de la frenada depende sólo del estado de la calzada.It has no effect; braking efficiency only depends on the condition of the road surface.
  • CUnos neumáticos en buen estado permiten una mejor adherencia a la calzada y un frenado más eficaz.Tyres in good condition give better grip on the road and more efficient braking.

Correct answer

  • CUnos neumáticos en buen estado permiten una mejor adherencia a la calzada y un frenado más eficaz.Tyres in good condition give better grip on the road and more efficient braking.
Explanation

The condition of the tyres is essential for the vehicle's safety, especially when braking. Tyres in good condition can grip the road better, which allows the car to stop more quickly and efficiently when we brake. If the tyres are worn or have low pressure, the car may slide, which increases the distance needed to stop and the risk of accidents. So keeping the tyres in good condition is key to good braking and to the vehicle's general safety.
