• C. Checking mirrors.

Answer: (A)

Distracted driving is any activity that takes your attention away from driving. The best choice reflects that idea by listing actions that clearly pull your focus away, such as using a phone, eating, and adjusting vehicle controls—things that divert your eyes, hands, or mind from the road. Other options like listening to music, checking mirrors, or talking to passengers aren’t automatically distractions; they’re normal parts of driving, but they can become distracting if they take your attention away or reduce your awareness. Because the statement “anything that takes attention” captures the essence of what makes driving dangerous, this option is the most accurate.
