Continuous hard braking on ice and snow can lead to locking the front wheels, which can result in a loss of steering control. When the front wheels lock up due to excessive braking, the driver may not be able to steer the vehicle effectively, increasing the risk of accidents and loss of control on slippery surfaces. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Option A is incorrect because continuous hard braking on ice and snow does not help stop the vehicle sooner but rather can lead to loss of steering control.

Option C is incorrect as continuous hard braking does not keep the brakes from freezing, it may actually increase the likelihood of freeze-ups due to heat buildup in the brakes.

Option D is also incorrect as loss of steering is a consequence of locking the front wheels, not a separate outcome of continuous hard braking on ice and snow.
