Question

Explanation:

Depressing the brake - pedal of a vehicle activates the brake lights at the back to signal to other road - users that the vehicle is slowing down. It does not activate the parking brake (which is a separate mechanism), does not allow gear - shifting, and does not turn on the brake - system warning light (which indicates a problem with the brake system, not normal brake use).

Answer:

d. turns on the brake lights in the back of the vehicle.
