What does a rear-wheel drive car tend to do if you accelerate too much on a bend?

When you accelerate too much in a bend with a rear-wheel drive car, the driven rear wheels can lose traction. This causes the rear of the car to swing outward, a phenomenon called oversteer. This is because the engine power is delivered to the rear wheels, and if they lose grip, they slide sideways, making the car turn more than intended. That's why answer 1 is correct. This is especially important to remember in wet or slippery conditions, where losing traction is easier. To avoid this, it's important to accelerate smoothly and carefully through curves.
