Correct answer

  • AEn situaciones que requieren una reacción rápida.In situations that need a quick reaction.
Explanation

Complex situations that need a quick response are especially hard for older people. Their reflexes are slower, and they may have health problems that affect their ability to react. The General Traffic Regulations recognise that road safety is at risk when quick decisions are needed. This increases the risk of accidents, especially for vulnerable groups such as older people.
