What are the three different types of foundation brake systems?

  1. 'S' cam brakes, disc brakes, and ABS brakes

  2. 'S' cam brakes, disc brakes, and wedge brakes

  3. 'S' cam brakes, ABS brakes, and wedge brakes

  4. Disc brakes, ABS brakes, and wedge brakes

The correct answer is: 'S' cam brakes, disc brakes, and wedge brakes

The three different types of foundation brake systems are 'S' cam brakes, disc brakes, and wedge brakes. 'S' cam brakes do not have the same level of stopping power as disc brakes and are less common in modern vehicles. ABS brakes are not a type of foundation brake system, but rather a type of auxiliary braking system that works alongside the foundation brakes. Therefore, option A, C, and D are incorrect since they include ABS brakes as one of the three types. Option B is correct because it includes all three types of foundation brake systems.
