Discussion
Which quantity does the centre of gravity height affect besides rollover?
Answer: D
Load transfer forward under braking and rearward under acceleration is proportional to the centre of gravity height divided by the wheelbase, so a low centre of gravity keeps the loading more even. This affects braking performance and traction as well as roll. Lowering the centre of gravity is therefore one of the most generally beneficial changes a chassis engineer can make. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision.
