Explanation
The question is about carrying a three-year-old child in the rear seat of a passenger car when two children are already sitting in child restraints and there is no room for a third device. You must secure the child with seat belts - answer B.
The Road Traffic Act allows a third child at least 3 years old to be carried in the rear seat of a passenger car, held by seat belts, when two children travel in child seats or other restraints installed in the rear and it is not possible to install a third one. The exception does not, however, mean travelling "loose" - the only allowed protection in that case is the seat belts, and an unfastened child is a breach of the rules and a real threat to life. Answer A, a footrest, is not a restraint and does not change anything. Answer C only talks about the place on the rear seat, not about how the child is secured; the middle seat is often the only free one anyway, but simply seating the child there without a seat belt is forbidden. You fasten the seat belt so that the lap part lies low across the hips and the shoulder part does not run across the child's neck.
