Explanation

Correct answer: Stabilizing the movement of the vehicle when driving along the curve.

The ESP (Electronic Stability Program) is an electronic system for stabilising the vehicle's trajectory. Its purpose is to help the driver control the vehicle in the event of a skid, for example, on a bend. The system detects a loss of traction and automatically brakes the appropriate wheels to restore the vehicle's stability.
