Answer: B — Address them, as they may indicate a problem

If a driver encounters avoidable noises while driving, addressing them is crucial because these noises can be indicators of underlying mechanical issues with the vehicle. Sounds such as grinding, rattling, or humming may signal problems with components like the engine, brakes, or tires. By paying attention to these signals and investigating the source, a driver can prevent potential safety hazards and avoid more costly repairs in the long run. Being proactive in dealing with such noises ensures better vehicle performance and helps maintain the overall safety of both the driver and other road users.
