Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: The vehicle will lose its steering ability.
When the wheels lock under hard braking, they slide over the road instead of rolling, and the tyres lose the grip needed for steering. Turning the steering wheel then has no effect, and the vehicle keeps sliding in the direction it was moving. It still slows down, so braking ability is not completely lost. ABS exists to prevent wheel lock and keep steering possible.
