Modern automobiles are generally designed so that the engine compartment at the front end of the car collapses during a collision. What is the purpose of this design? A. The collapsing structure increases the transfer of the energy to the car or object with which the car collides.
B. It is less expensive and more cost effective to use weaker materials in the construction of the engine compartment.
C. By confining the damage to the front part of the car, the collapsing engine compartment reduces the total cost of repairs.
D. As the materials of the engine compartment bend they absorb energy and protect the passengers from the force of the collision​
