Solution

The correct option is A
Lightly loaded truck

It is easier to stop a lightly loaded truck as its Kinetic Energy is less that the heavily loaded truck.Kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass of a body moving at constant speed, so higher the mass more is the Kinetic energy, and hence more difficult to stop the truck.
