Answer: C — vehicle without a motor, such as a bicycle

A non-motorized vehicle is defined as a mode of transportation that does not have an engine or motor to propel it. Bicycles serve as the primary example of non-motorized vehicles because they rely on human power – specifically, the physical effort of the rider – to move. This definition distinguishes non-motorized vehicles from those that utilize motors or engines, such as those that run on electricity or fuel. Non-motorized vehicles are often associated with a lower environmental impact, promoting physical activity and reducing congestion on roadways. Recognizing non-motorized vehicles is important for understanding the full spectrum of transportation options available in various contexts, including urban planning and road safety regulations.
