For answer  A 

In order to drive ecologically it is recommended to avoid, as much as possible, sudden accelerations and sudden brakings. The use of the engine brake to slow down the motor vehicle is a characteristic of ecological driving and is recommended for saving fuel and extending the service life of the components of the service brake (the foot brake).

For answer  B 

Taking the motor vehicle out of gear while braking is not an element of ecological driving and is not recommended for slowing brakings. Disengaging the transmission while driving, performed by keeping the clutch pedal pressed, will be done only when you brake considerably intending to stop. Moreover, the road traffic legislation prohibits disengaging the transmission while driving.

For answer  C 

The simultaneous use of the handbrake and the service brake is not an ecological practice and is not recommended in any situation. The handbrake (or the parking brake) is intended exclusively for keeping the vehicle stationary when it is parked.
