Correct answer

  • CMayor riesgo de resultar herido.A higher risk of being injured.
Explanation

A motorcycle rider has a higher risk of being injured than a car driver because a motorcycle is less stable and more fragile than a car. Also, in an accident the rider's body acts as the chassis and takes the impact directly, which increases the likelihood of serious injury. So the correct answer is that a motorcycle rider has a higher risk of being injured in an accident.
