Correct answer
The front axle.
The front axle, because deceleration transfers load forwards; rear-axle load decreases compared with before braking. This does not guarantee that front tyres always have more actual grip than rear tyres or that every braking action causes loss of control: tyres, road surface and other conditions matter. The question compares each axle’s load before and during braking.
