  1. Partly depress the clutch before removing their foot from the brake.
  2. Use the parking brake.
  3. Release the parking brake when the engine power is capable of pulling the vehicle forward.
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: D - When attempting to move forward in a vehicle with a manual transmission, and there is the risk of rolling backward, drivers can engage the clutch part way before they remove their foot from the brake. They can also engage the parking brake if needed to prevent rollbacks. Once the engine has enough power to pull forward, drivers can then release the parking brake.
