Correct answer
Hydroplaning
It is also called hydroplaning. It occurs when a layer of water separates the tyre from the road and reduces or removes grip because the tyre cannot evacuate enough water. Driving on a wet road does not always mean aquaplaning. Speed, accumulated water and tyre condition affect the risk.
