Correct answer

  • BCon los brazos ligeramente doblados.With your arms slightly bent.
Explanation

Hold the steering wheel with both hands, roughly in the ten-to-two or quarter-to-three position, with your arms slightly bent. This lets you steer precisely and without tiring; with your arms fully stretched or sharply bent you lose strength, control and speed of reaction.
