Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Risk of hitting a vehicle that you didn’t see before deviating.
An abrupt lane change is usually made without properly checking the mirrors and blind spot, so a vehicle in the next lane may go unnoticed. This creates a real risk of a collision, and the other driver has no time to react. Before changing lanes, check your mirrors and blind spot, signal early and move over gradually. Delaying other drivers is not the main danger.
