Correct answer
B. Accelerate to such speed in lower gear that after switching to the next gear the vehicle does not jerk and does not choke.
Explanation
When getting a car up to speed on a flat stretch of road, you accelerate in a lower gear to such a speed that after you change into the next gear the vehicle does not jerk or choke - answer B. Revving the engine to maximum revolutions in every gear (A) means pointless noise, fuel consumption and engine wear, and changing up two gears at once in every case (C) has no justification.
Each gear has a range of revolutions in which the engine runs smoothly; if you change gear too early, the revolutions drop below this range and the car starts to jerk and choke, and if too late - the engine screams. The Road Traffic Act requires you to drive in a way that does not obstruct traffic and keeps the vehicle under control, and smooth acceleration is part of that control. In a typical passenger car you change up at about 2000-2500 revolutions and listen to the engine.
