Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Lithium-based grease with EP (Extreme Pressure) additives is recommended for heavy-duty truck U-joints because it provides excellent protection under high pressure and shock loading conditions. NLGI (National Lubricating Grease Institute) grade 1 or 2 grease is also suitable for these applications due to its appropriate viscosity and performance characteristics under a wide range of temperatures, making both A and B correct choices.
