Body rigidity means a vehicle's structure should be able to ______ bending under pressure.

Body rigidity means a vehicle's structure should be able to ______ bending under pressure.

• A. Absorb
• B. Twist
• C. Resist
• D. Flex

Answer: (C)

Rigidity means the structure holds its shape and doesn’t deform when forces try to bend it. A truly rigid vehicle frame should resist bending under pressure so it stays aligned, distributes loads safely, and maintains integrity during stress. If a frame were to absorb bending, twist, or flex, it would deform instead of staying stiff, which is not desirable for maintaining safety and structural performance. So the best way to express what a rigid structure does under bending forces is to resist the bend.
