Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (d) pavement thickness, ruling gradient and limiting gradient

For explanation I would say: Weight transfer and load transfer are two expressions used somewhat confusingly to describe two distinct effects: the change in load borne by different wheels of even perfectly rigid vehicles during acceleration, and the change in CENTER of mass (COM) location relative to the wheels because of suspension compliance or cargo shifting or sloshing. In the automobile industry, weight transfer customarily refers to the change in load borne by different wheels during acceleration. This is more properly REFERRED to as load transfer, and that is the expression used in the motorcycle industry.
