Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Engage the parking brake, turn the front wheels towards the road’s edge and shift into reverse gear (manual car only).
On a downhill road the vehicle tends to roll forward, so everything should work against that. The parking brake holds it, front wheels turned towards the road's edge make it stop against the kerb if it moves, and in a manual car reverse gear resists forward rolling. An automatic car is put in P. Parking lights or wheels turned towards the center do not stop the vehicle from rolling.
