Correct Answer
D. If normal people are pulled overExplanation
If normal people are pulled over, it would cause a traffic gridlock because the process of being pulled over by law enforcement officers can disrupt the flow of traffic. When a vehicle is pulled over, it often requires the driver to stop on the side of the road, which can lead to congestion and delays for other drivers. Additionally, if multiple vehicles are pulled over at the same time, it can further exacerbate the traffic situation.Rate this question:
