Correct answer
- BEs más difícil que se bloquee la rueda trasera.The rear wheel is less likely to lock.
Explanation
When you brake, inertia shifts the weight towards the front and the load on the rear wheel is reduced, which is why it tends to lock. With a passenger there is more weight on that wheel, so it is less likely to lock, although the braking distance increases.
