Explanation
Answer: D - Any time a commercial driver starts a vehicle that has a manual transmission they should depress the clutch, put the gear shift in neutral, start the engine, and slowly release the clutch. It is important to also ensure that the parking brake is set before starting the engine or depressing the clutch. The brake will prevent the vehicle from rolling once the clutch is engaged.
