Correct answer

Explanation
While we are overtaking, the large vehicle shelters us from the wind blowing from the right. When we get past it, we suddenly receive the full force of the wind, which can push our vehicle sharply to the side, make us lose control and take us off the road. You must hold the steering wheel firmly.
