Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • Option A and B focus on safety of skateboarding rather than students relying on it.
  • Option C is about waking up earlier due to no skateboarding (not directly about reliance).
  • Option D clearly states that taking away skateboarding (riding to and from school) makes getting to school hard, showing students' reliance on skateboards.

Answer:

D. If you take away their ability to ride their skateboards to and from school, it will make getting to school much harder.
