Answer:C-Both Technicians are correct.

Explanation:This is because, the independent rear suspensions IRS system has a lower unsprung weight which improves cornering performance of a vehicle by causing less amount of pull against the driver's steering

Also Independent rear suspension provides batter handling and makes a vehicle very stable by allowing each wheel of a vehicle move independently which makes it easy to move on bad surfaces on the road unlike, a solid rear axle suspension system, whose two wheels on the axle are interconnected, such that when one wheel moves up, the other one gets dragged down, and vice-versa causing handling of the vehicle prove difficult.
