Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. By reducing speed.

As a driver you can do less damage to the environment if you drive smoothly and avoid harsh acceleration and braking. Vehicles travelling at 110 km/h use up to 30% more fuel than those travelling at 80 km/h. However, you should not drive so slow as to inconvenience other road users.
