A One car length
B Two car lengths
C The time it takes to count "one thousand one, one thousand two" after the vehicle in front passes a fixed point
D Five seconds

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

The "two-second rule" is a common guideline for safe following distance, which means selecting a fixed object ahead (like a sign or tree) and ensuring you don't reach it for at least two seconds after the vehicle in front of you passes it. This allows adequate reaction time and stopping distance.
