Question

what is the purpose of abs? a) prevent wheel lock up. b) prevent tires from spinning. c) provide mechanical leverage assist. d) control a vehicles wheel spin during acceleration.

Explanation:

ABS, which stands for Anti - lock Braking System, is designed to prevent the wheels of a vehicle from locking up during braking. When wheels lock up, the vehicle loses traction and the driver loses steering control. Option B is incorrect because preventing tires from spinning is more related to traction control systems. Option C is wrong as ABS is not about mechanical leverage assist. Option D is for traction control systems that control wheel spin during acceleration, not ABS.

Answer:

A. Prevent wheel lock up.
