Which system includes the master cylinder and hydraulic lines?

The correct choice relates to the hydraulic system, which is indeed responsible for transferring force within various components of a braking system. Specifically, the master cylinder generates hydraulic pressure when the brake pedal is applied. This pressure travels through hydraulic lines to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders, allowing for the application of the brakes at each wheel. The efficiency and functionality of this hydraulic system are critical to the overall operation of the brakes.

The brake balance control system focuses on distributing braking force between the front and rear wheels to prevent skidding or loss of control, but it does not specifically include components like the master cylinder or hydraulic lines. The antilock brake system (ABS) functions as a safety feature to prevent wheel lock-up during hard braking, but it is an enhancement that operates on top of the basic hydraulic system. Serviceable brakes refer to the condition and maintainability of the braking components but do not specify the hydraulic elements involved.
