Answer:

B. DOT 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The braking system of a vehicle uses hydraulic power generated by a master cylinder to activate the four-wheel brake assemblies. The hydraulic power is transmitted throughout the brake system via brake fluid. Brake fluid is made from a silicone based or glycol based product. .The three classes of brake fluid commonly used in modern automobiles are as follows:

DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5. DOT stands for

Department of Transportation specification grades; the increasing numbers corresponds to increasing boiling point. DOT 3 and DOT 4 are glycol based, and DOT 3 most commonly used in disc brake systems. The glycol base is hygroscopic means it attract water from the environment.

brake fluid should be disposed properly. it should not be exposed to fire as this mit pose a ue fire hazard. t shouldn't be thrown into septic tanks.
