What is the danger of loading only the front compartment of a compartmented tanker?

a.The front compartment might leak
b.It puts too much weight on the front axle, causing poor handling and possible steering problems
c.It increases fuel consumption slightly
d.There is no danger as long as the compartment is not overfilled

Loading only the front compartment puts too much weight on the front axle and not enough on the rear axles. This uneven weight distribution causes poor handling, can make steering difficult, and may exceed front axle weight limits, creating a serious safety hazard.
