What is a active occupant Protection device?

• A. Steering wheel
• B. Seatbelt, head restraint, locking the car doors
• C. Airbags
• D. Crumple zones

Answer: (B)

Active occupant protection devices are features that actively restrain occupants or prevent movement during a crash, often requiring action or functioning to protect you. A seatbelt keeps you restrained in your seat, head restraints reduce whiplash by limiting rearward head movement, and locking the doors helps prevent occupants from being ejected and keeps them inside the vehicle. In contrast, airbags and crumple zones are passive protection elements that deploy or absorb energy automatically without requiring occupant input, and the steering wheel is not itself an occupant protection device. So the set that best fits active occupant protection includes the seatbelt, head restraint, and locking the doors.
