• B. Tread marks
• C. Acceleration marks
• D. Yaw marks

Hint:

Yaw marks provide critical clues in reconstructing vehicle dynamics during accidents.

Yaw marks are curved tire marks caused when a vehicle slides sideways while still moving forward. These marks indicate a loss of control and are often used in accident reconstruction to determine the vehicle’s speed and path.
