In what way does too low tyre pressure affect the safe operation of a motorcycle?

In what way does too low tyre pressure affect the safe operation of a motorcycle?
Explanation

Correct answer: It may impair the stability of the vehicle in motion.

Insufficient tyre pressure causes excessive deformation of the tyre while riding, which adversely affects its handling characteristics. A deformed tyre does not provide adequate grip and lateral stiffness, which directly leads to reduced motorcycle stability. Consequently, steering precision is reduced, and the vehicle's behaviour, especially on bends, becomes unstable and unpredictable.
