Correct answer
Towards the rear axle.
Towards the rear axle: its vertical load increases relative to the previous state and front-axle load decreases. This is load transfer, not the whole car’s mass physically moving backwards. It does not mean the rear axle always carries more total load than the front; that depends on the initial distribution.
