Correct answer

  • BNo, y puede provocar graves lesiones.No, and it can cause serious injuries.
Explanation

The airbag complements the seat belt; it does not replace it. Without a seat belt, the occupant moves forward before the airbag has fully inflated and can be hit by it with great force, suffering serious injuries.
