Baffled tanks reduce which type of surge?

a.Side-to-side surge

b.Forward-and-back surge

c.Both side-to-side and forward-and-back surge

d.Neither type of surge

Explanation

Baffles reduce forward-and-back surge by breaking the tank into sections. However, because the baffles have holes that allow liquid to pass through, they do not prevent side-to-side surge. Drivers must still be cautious on curves and turns.
