Correct answer
- CCuando la potencia del motor se transmite a las cuatro ruedasWhen the engine's power is sent to all four wheels
Explanation
The engine's power can be sent to the rear wheels, in which case we say the vehicle has rear-wheel drive; to the front wheels, in which case it has front-wheel drive; or to all four wheels, in which case it has all-wheel (four-wheel) drive, because the engine's power is sent to all four wheels of the vehicle.
