Correct answer

  • BReducir la velocidad lo necesario, incluso hasta la detención total.Reduce speed as much as necessary, even coming to a complete stop.
Explanation

Reducing speed as much as necessary, even coming to a complete stop, is correct because it gives you time to adapt to the situation and avoid an accident. By slowing down, you can control your vehicle better and pay more attention to what is happening around you, which is essential when you are dazzled by another car's lights.
