Answer:

d)The right front tire causing a drop and tilt of the right side of the front hood.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are driving and make a sudden maneuver that results in a hard left direction, the center of gravity of your car is transferred to the right front tire, causing the right side of the front hood to fall and tilt.

In addition, if your car has a lot of kinetic energy, this maneuver will become extremely dangerous, because it can cause the displacement of the center of gravity in such a way that it will make the tires lose their grip with the track.
