Which type of brake uses shoes acting against the inside surface of a drum?

Correct answer

A drum brake.

A drum brake. Its shoes rub against the drum’s inner surface to produce braking. Disc brakes use pads against a disc; engine braking uses the engine’s resistance. Brake type alone does not establish that a wheel will lock.
