Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. Carry a suitable fire extinguisher in the vehicle.

A strong smell of fuel is usually an indication that something is wrong, and you should stop and investigate as soon as possible. Leaking or spilling petrol can be dangerous because it is so combustible. It is good practice to carry a fire extinguisher in your vehicle, so that you can deal with any small fires.
