Correct answer

  • CPara dar más holgura y que el cinturón no vaya tan apretado.To give more slack so that the belt is not so tight.
Explanation

Pressure clips are fitted to the seat belt to leave it loose so that it does not press. This is a dangerous practice: with that slack, the body moves before it is held back in a crash and the belt loses much of its effectiveness, so they must not be used.
