Correct answer

Explanation

Depression has a clear effect on our ability to drive a vehicle safely, so it is important to take the necessary precautions. Under the effects of depression, you feel less sure of yourself and decision-making is more uncertain, so the driver may make mistakes or behave in ways that other drivers do not expect.
