B Correct answer
Explanation

While airbags and seatbelts have dramatically reduced traffic fatalities, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) brakes have shown relatively limited impact on overall crash fatality rates. ABS primarily prevents wheel lockup during hard braking, helping maintain steering control but not necessarily preventing crashes. Studies indicate that while ABS reduces certain types of crashes, its life-saving effect is smaller compared to the massive mortality reductions from seatbelts and airbags that directly protect occupants during impacts.
