Correct answer

  • BProteger la cabeza de fuertes movimientos en caso de accidenteTo protect the head from violent movements in an accident
Explanation

The head restraint protects the head against violent backward movements in an accident, so it must be at the correct height. Before driving, the driver must adjust the head restraint to their build to avoid a broken neck, so the driver's head restraint is always adjustable.
