Which of the following is NOT a component of the braking system in a vehicle?

Brake pads
Rotors
Transmission
Brake fluid

The correct answer is: Transmission

In a vehicle's braking system, the components work together to safely slow down or stop the vehicle when necessary. The brake pads are essential friction elements that press against the rotors to create the stopping power. Rotors serve as the surface that the brake pads clamp onto, providing the necessary resistance to halt the vehicle’s motion. Brake fluid is the hydraulic fluid that transfers force from the brake pedal to the braking components, allowing for effective braking action. The transmission, however, is not part of the braking system. Instead, it is a separate system that transfers power from the engine to the wheels, allowing the vehicle to move at various speeds. Therefore, this choice stands out as the only option not associated with the braking function, making it the correct answer to the question.
