Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Not safe — a solid tow bar, cable, or chain is required
Ropes stretch, snap under load, and provide no steering/brake control for the towed vehicle. A proper tow bar or rigid connection transfers braking force and lets the tow vehicle control the towed one. Use a professional tow service for safety.
