Answer: B — Reduce your speed and be prepared to stop.

When approaching a construction zone, it is important to reduce your speed and be prepared to stop. Option A is incorrect as maintaining your speed can be dangerous and potentially lead to accidents. Option C is incorrect because increasing your speed is not only unsafe, but can also lead to fines for speeding in a construction zone.
