Correct answer
It will prevent the wheels from locking in the event of sudden braking
ABS modulates braking to prevent wheel lock and help retain steering capability. It does not necessarily equalise pressure at both brakes or eliminate every skid or loss of control. Grip and system design limit its operation; it does not guarantee shorter stopping on every surface. Motorcycles can have ABS, but installation or modification must be compatible and satisfy applicable technical requirements.
