Continuous hard braking on ice and snow often:

Helps you stop faster.
Locks the front wheels causing the loss of steering control.
Keeps the brakes hot and prevents them from freezing.
Stop and look for your own curiosity.

The correct answer is: Locks the front wheels causing the loss of steering control.

Continuous hard braking on ice and snow can cause the front wheels to lock up, which would result in the loss of steering control. This is due to a phenomenon called "front wheel lock-up" where the wheels are unable to rotate freely, leading to a loss of traction and steering ability. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because continuous hard braking on ice and snow does not help you stop faster due to reduced traction. Option C is incorrect as keeping the brakes hot is not the purpose of continuous hard braking on ice and snow. In fact, it is more likely to result in freezing brakes due to the extreme cold temperatures. Option D is clearly irrelevant and not related to the scenario described in the question.
