Correct answer

A. The car being towed can only achieve slight braking effect even when increased pressure is applied to the pedal
B. If possible, use a tow-bar

Comment

If possible, use a tow bar when towing a vehicle with a brake booster. Because a brake booster works only with the engine running. When the engine is off, only a weak braking effect can be achieved in this vehicle even with strong pressure on the foot brake.
