technician b says that a solid axle (dependant) suspension system is often used on trucks for its load - carrying capability.
who is correct?
technician b only.
technician a only.
neither technician a or b.
both technicians a and b.

Explanation:

• For Technician A: Independent suspensions are generally more complex and expensive to manufacture than dependent (solid axle) or semi - independent systems. So Technician A's statement is wrong.
• For Technician B: Solid axle (dependent) suspension systems are commonly used in trucks because they can handle heavy loads well due to their robust design and ability to distribute weight. So Technician B's statement is correct.

Technician B only.
