Correct answer
Absorb and damp road-surface irregularities, helping maintain tyre contact with the road.
The suspension absorbs and damps reactions caused by road-surface irregularities. It reduces movement reaching the chassis and helps maintain tyre contact with the road, stability and comfort. It does not completely eliminate all movement or guarantee grip or control in every circumstance. Steering directs the front wheel and brakes reduce speed; those are different functions.
