Correct answer

  • APorque reduce de forma importante el riesgo de muerte y de lesiones graves en un accidente.Because it greatly reduces the risk of death and serious injury in an accident.
Explanation

The seat belt keeps the occupant held in the seat and stops them from being thrown out or hitting the inside of the vehicle, so it greatly reduces the risk of death and serious injury. It does not replace the airbag or cancel out the force of the impact: it spreads it and cushions it.
