- Sliding of the front wheel.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Sliding of the rear wheel.
In a turn the motorcycle is leaning and the tyres are already using much of their grip. Sharp braking shifts the weight forward, so the rear wheel becomes light, loses grip and slides out. That is why you should brake before entering the bend, while the motorcycle is upright, and ride through the turn at a steady, moderate speed.
