Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. Reduce speed, keep to the left and be alert for hazards ahead.

As you approach a sharp dip in the road, you should be aware that there might be hidden dangers ahead. For example, there might be pedestrians, cyclists or other approaching traffic, or the road could be flooded in the dip. You should always read the road ahead and be prepared to react to changing traffic situations : you might need to reduce your speed and drive with extra care.
