Correct answer: B. On the floor or foot rest.
When driving a driver should rest their left foot on the floor or foot rest but not under the pedals. To do so may cause delayed response time in an emergency. Resting the foot on the pedal may result in coasting, which may inadvertently increase the speed of the vehicle, or clutch mechanism damage.
