For Question 15: Cognitive distractions take mental focus away from the primary task (like driving). Talking on a cell phone requires active mental engagement, diverting cognitive resources. The other options are physical or visual actions that don't demand the same level of mental processing.
For Question 16: A billboard with flashing lights targets the sense of sight, pulling visual attention away from driving, so it is a visual distraction.
