What body position should you maintain when going up a hill in a four-wheeled vehicle?

In the photo you can see a close-up of a muddy dirt road with ruts, leading uphill across a grassy slope. When going up a hill on a quadricycle, you stand on the footrests with your body leaning towards the front axle - answer B.

The Road Traffic Act requires you to drive at a speed that allows you to keep control of the vehicle, taking into account the terrain and the state of the road. When going uphill, the weight moves to the rear axle, and the front of the quadricycle becomes lighter - on too steep a slope or if you open the throttle suddenly, the vehicle may rear up and flip backwards onto the driver. By standing and leaning over the handlebars, you move your body weight forward and press the front wheels onto the ground. Sitting upright (answer A) does not give this effect, and leaning backwards (answer C) actually increases the risk of overturning. You open the throttle smoothly, and when the vehicle loses momentum halfway up the slope, you do not try to turn around across the slope.
