Answer: D — Stop

Approaching a pedestrian walking with a white cane or white cane tipped with red is a signal that the person is visually impaired. It is important to stop and allow the pedestrian to safely cross the road. Accelerating, beeping the horn, or continuing to drive without stopping could potentially cause harm to the pedestrian. It is important to be mindful and respectful of individuals who are visually impaired and give them the right of way to cross the road safely.
