Explanation / Answer

A-1 answer: (c) depth perception.

As depth perception refers to the visual ability to perceive the world in 3D and distance of an object.

A-2 Factors affecting driver's behavior are as under:

Driving behaviour do not depends whether man or woman is driving.

g) Illness: yes

Driver's illness may lead drivers to lose control.

A-3 answer: (d) safety.

Primary roal of each and every engineer is to serve safety to users in their work. All projects and their outcomes are rearranged if any safety protocol is violated.
