A)the same as when travelling unloaded.
B)shorter than when travelling unloaded.
C)longer than when travelling unloaded.Correct
The braking distance is the distance travelled by the vehicle from the moment the driver applies the brakes until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. This distance can vary depending on the speed at which the vehicle is travelling, the condition of the tyres, suspension, brakes, the vehicle's load, road conditions and weather conditions.
The greater the load, the greater the kinetic energy accumulated by the vehicle's movement, and the harder it will be to bring it to a stop.
