Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. It can distort the rear vision of the driver.

When driving in the rain, water droplets can adhere to the exterior mirrors and obscure the driver’s view to the side and rear of the vehicle. If the vehicle has heated mirrors, turn them on to clear them. Alternatively, stop periodically to clear them manually.
