Show me the Answer
Correct answer is:
  • (D)  A and b
Explanation:
Cognitive involvement of a driver is essential to safe driving. Nevertheless, a driver may fail to recognize a situation that demands a response because his/her attention has wandered from the driving task for some non-compelling reason. When this happens, the driver is typically focused on internal thoughts (i.e. daydreaming, problem solving, etc.) and not focused on the driving task.
