A paved road with a sharp hairpin curve and guardrails, a dark car driving on it, a valley and hills behind.
  1. Many pedestrians and animals.
  2. Wide and unmarked roadways.
  3. Mountain roads are never paved.
  4. Correct answer: Narrow and winding roadway, sharp curves, bends and sudden slopes.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Narrow and winding roadway, sharp curves, bends and sudden slopes.

A mountain road is built along the slopes of the mountain, so it is usually narrow and winding, with sharp curves and steep slopes, both uphill and downhill. On such a road the field of view is limited, so you should slow down, stay in your lane and match your gear to the slope. Many pedestrians and animals is not what characterizes a mountain road.
