Answer: C — Do not drive through it

When encountering a fuel spill, the appropriate course of action is to avoid driving through it. Fuel spills can create hazardous conditions, both for drivers and for the environment. Driving through a fuel spill can not only jeopardize your vehicle's safety but also risk spreading the spill further or causing additional accidents. Staying clear of the spill helps prevent potential accidents and allows for proper containment and clean-up measures to be applied by trained personnel. Choosing not to drive through the spill ensures that you are prioritizing safety, both for yourself and for others who might be on or near the road. Taking this precaution helps maintain a safe operating environment at the airport or any related area where such hazards may occur.
