Correct answer: C. Drive to a safe place, stop the vehicle and check the oil level.
Oil circulation is essential for the safe running of the vehicle’s engine. If the warning lights or gauges indicate that the oil or the oil-pressure is low, the driver should stop as soon as they can in safe place, check the oil level, and top up if necessary. Continuing to drive may damage the engine. If the problem is not just related to the oil level, have the vehicle checked by a competent person.
