Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Seat belts, airbags and head rests.
Seat belts, airbags and head rests are passive safety measures. They do not prevent the accident, but they reduce the injury to the body at the moment of collision. The seat belt prevents occupants from being thrown and from hitting parts of the vehicle. The airbag cushions the head and chest. The head rest protects the neck from whiplash. Rear windshield wipers and fog lights improve visibility and help prevent an accident, and an orthopedic seat is a comfort item.
