Correct answer

  • ALos huesos de la caderathe hip bones
Explanation

The lap strap of the seat belt must go over the hip bones, always below the abdomen. If it is placed over the belly, in a crash it presses on soft organs and can cause internal injuries; over the thighs it tends to move and the body slides underneath it.
