Correct answer

  • CLa adherencia de los neumáticos al suelo es mayor.The grip of the tyres on the road is greater.

Braking efficiency depends on the grip of the tyres on the road: the more grip, the better the braking. More mass makes the braking distance longer, and pressing the clutch removes engine braking.
