Answer: A — Defensively

A good bus driver should behave defensively while driving to ensure the safety of passengers, other road users, and themselves. Defensive driving involves being aware of the surroundings, anticipating potential hazards, and making safe driving decisions based on the behavior of other drivers and changing conditions on the road. This means maintaining a safe following distance, adhering to speed limits, and being prepared to react appropriately to unexpected situations, such as sudden stops or erratic movements from other vehicles. This approach minimizes the likelihood of accidents and allows the bus driver to respond to challenges calmly and effectively, which is essential in managing the safety of passengers and the bus itself. Additionally, defensive driving fosters a more respectful and safer driving environment for everyone on the road.
