Explanation

If the parking brake is not completely released, the vehicle will run braked, requiring more traction power and consuming more fuel. In addition, the continuous friction of the brake elements leads to the overheating of the rear wheel hubs. This problem does not generate noises in the area of the handbrake lever, but it can cause sharp metallic sounds near the rear wheels.

The correct answer is: B and C
