Answer: (A)

Blind Spot Monitor is a safety feature that uses sensors to watch the areas beside you that you can’t see in your mirrors. When another vehicle is detected in your blind spot and you signal to change lanes, the system alerts you—typically with a warning light in the side mirror and sometimes an audible alert—so you can decide if it’s safe to move over. This helps prevent collisions from vehicles you might not notice during a lane change. It isn’t about reading road signs, it doesn’t actively steer the car, and it isn’t a camera that records parking lot activity.
