Correct answer

  • BCortando el contacto y poniendo el freno de mano.By switching off the ignition and applying the handbrake.
Explanation

To immobilise a crashed vehicle safely, switch off the ignition, which reduces the risk of fire, and apply the handbrake so that it does not move. Chocks may help afterwards, but they are not the first step, and there is no need to touch the battery.
