►|explanation|
Option A, ‘Increase the space in front of your car,’ reduces the likelihood of needing to brake suddenly, minimizing the risk of an accident. Option B, ‘Increase the space behind your car,’ is nearly impossible when a car is tailgating. Option C, ‘Honk and flash your brake lights,’ may alarm or provoke the tailgating driver. Option D, ‘Brake sharply and drive away quickly,’ significantly increases the risk of a rear-end collision.
