Correct answer
A. In such a way as to get a wide field of vision.
Explanation
In the photo you are driving along a wide street in a city centre: in front of you there are several lanes and traffic lights, on the right there are parked cars and people next to a van, and in the background there are tall buildings. In town traffic, you watch the road in a way that gives you a wide field of view - answer A. Focusing on a narrow section in front of the bonnet (B) means that you will miss a pedestrian stepping out from the side, and ignoring the situation behind the vehicle (C) risks a collision when braking or changing lanes.
The Road Traffic Act requires a road user to be careful and avoid any action that could cause danger, and when changing lanes or turning, to give way and exercise particular caution - this requires seeing all your surroundings. In town, dangers appear from the sides: pedestrians between parked cars, cyclists, doors being opened, cars coming out of gateways. So you look far ahead, sweep your eyes over the pavements and the side streets, glance in the mirrors every few seconds, and do not fix your eyes on one point.
