what is the purpose of the stabilizer bar?
limit the pitch of the body when the vehicle is accelerating or braking.
limit the roll of the body when the vehicle is cornering.
limit the tendency of the car to bounce over road imperfections.
limit the vibration of the car.

Explanation:

The stabilizer bar (also known as sway bar) in a vehicle's suspension system primarily functions to limit the body roll when the vehicle is cornering. This helps in maintaining stability and improving handling during turns. The other options: limiting pitch (related to acceleration/braking is more for components like pitch stops or specific suspension tuning, not stabilizer bar), limiting bouncing over road imperfections is more about shock absorbers/springs, and limiting vibration is more about dampers or other vibration - isolating components. So the correct purpose related to stabilizer bar is to limit the roll of the body when the vehicle is cornering.

Answer:

Limit the roll of the body when the vehicle is cornering.
