  1. At the same time they press on the brake pedal when stopping
  2. Before they press the brake when stopping the vehicle
  3. When the engine gets close to idle
  4. When engine rpms are high
Explanation
Answer: C - When applying the brakes on a commercial vehicle with a manual transmission, drivers should engage the clutch once the engine gets close to its idle speed. This helps to bring the vehicle to a smooth stop. Drivers should not, however, "ride" the clutch as this can wear it out.
