Correct answer
B. In the front seat in a child restraint other than a safety seat.
Explanation
The question is about carrying a child less than 150 cm tall in a five-seat passenger car. The correct way is: in the front seat in a child restraint other than a child safety seat - answer B.
The Road Traffic Act states that in a passenger car fitted with seat belts, a child less than 150 cm tall is carried in a child safety seat or another child restraint; it is forbidden to carry such a child in the front seat without a child seat or another restraint. "Another restraint" is, for example, a booster seat with a backrest - just as legal as a child seat, also in the front, as long as it is not fitted rear-facing in front of an active airbag. Answer A is directly forbidden. Answer C is wrong, because a child under 150 cm in the rear seat must also travel in a child seat or a restraint; travelling without a fastened seat belt is prohibited as a rule. Seat belts alone are enough, in principle, only for a child at least 135 cm tall in the rear, when no suitable child seat can be found; the Act also has a few other exceptions, e.g. a third child in the rear when there are two child seats.
