C Correct answer
Explanation

4x4 in cars refers to a four-wheel-drive system where torque from the engine is distributed to all four wheels simultaneously, providing better traction and control. This differs from 4x2 (two-wheel drive) where only two wheels receive power. Option A is incorrect because 4x4 doesn't mean just four wheels (most cars have four wheels), and option B is nonsensical.
