- The tires, the shock absorbers, and the brakes.

Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The tires, the shock absorbers, and the brakes.
Tires, shock absorbers, and brakes form the active safety triangle. They determine whether the car grips the ground, stays stable, and brakes in time. In the image, one mechanic measures a tire's tread depth while another checks the shock absorber.
