What does ABS stand for?

  1. Antilock Braking System

  2. Automatic Braking System

  3. Anti-speeding Brakes

  4. Automatic Buffer System

The correct answer is: Antilock Braking System

ABS stands for Antilock Braking System. This system helps prevent the wheels from locking up during heavy braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control and avoid skidding. It does this by rapidly modulating the brake pressure to each wheel independently. The other options (B. Automatic Braking System, C. Anti-speeding Brakes, D. Automatic Buffer System) do not accurately describe the function or purpose of ABS, making them incorrect choices.
