  1. Honk your horn to alert the cyclist.
  2. Pass the cyclist closely and quickly.

Answer: C — Slow down and give the cyclist ample space.

When encountering a cyclist on the road, it is important to give them ample space and slow down. Honking your horn or passing closely and quickly can startle and endanger the cyclist. Ignoring the cyclist is also not a recommended option as it can lead to accidents and is disrespectful. It is important to be mindful and respectful of all road users.
