What are the advantages of an automatic anti-locking device (ABS)?

You answered correctly because the main advantage of an automatic anti-lock braking system (ABS) is that it allows you to brake heavily while still maintaining steering control. This means you can avoid obstacles more effectively in emergency braking situations. ABS prevents the wheels from locking up, so the tires keep grip with the road, enabling you to steer around hazards even during hard braking. The other options about preventing wheelspin when setting off and reducing the risk of tipping over when braking on bends are not primary functions of ABS under German traffic rules.
