Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Reaction time.
The time from when you see a hazard until you use the controls is your reaction time. In the image, it runs from when you see the ball on the roadway until you press the brake. From when you press the brake until you stop is braking time, and the whole period, from seeing the hazard until stopping, is stopping time.
