Correct answer
stopping distance.
It is stopping distance: the sum of reaction distance and braking distance. Reaction distance is travelled from perceiving the hazard until applying the brake; braking distance is travelled from applying it until the vehicle stops. The total asked about is not merely one of those phases. Speed, attention and grip and braking conditions affect the distance needed to stop.
