- ANo influye, depende solo del estado de los frenos.It does not; it depends only on the condition of the brakes.
- BNo influye; la eficacia del frenado depende solo del estado de la carretera.It does not; braking efficiency depends only on the condition of the road.
- CLos neumáticos en buen estado proporcionan mejor adherencia a la calzada y un frenado más eficaz.Tyres in good condition give better grip on the road and more effective braking.

Correct answer
- CLos neumáticos en buen estado proporcionan mejor adherencia a la calzada y un frenado más eficaz.Tyres in good condition give better grip on the road and more effective braking.
Explanation
The condition of the tyres directly affects grip and therefore how well the vehicle brakes. With worn tread or the wrong pressure they clear water less well and grip less, so the braking distance increases, especially on a wet road.
