Select one: a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both Technician A and Technician B d. Neither Technician A nor Technician B Clear my choice

## Step 1<br />This problem is about understanding the braking systems in vehicles, specifically the differences between the front and rear axles. <br /><br />## Step 2<br />Technician A's statement is that rear axles require larger capacity brakes because they carry more weight. This is generally true because the rear axle carries the weight of the vehicle and the passengers, which is why it requires larger brakes.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Technician B's statement is that front axles use smaller drums and narrower brake shoes. This is also generally true because the front axle does not carry as much weight as the rear axle, so it does not require as large brakes.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Since both Technician A and Technician B's statements are generally true, the correct answer is that both Technician A and Technician B are correct.
