  2. About the same or sometimes longer, because the bike has less tire contact and braking is harder to apply at the maximum
  3. Always exactly half the car's distance
  4. Irrelevant — bikes use engine braking only

Answer: B — About the same or sometimes longer, because the bike has less tire contact and braking is harder to apply at the maximum
