Should cars have bumpers that collapse under impact?

A. Yes, since the offending car should get damaged and pay for the mistake

B. No, since it would be very expensive to get the car repaired

C. No, since the colliding car would then ram into the occupants and kill them

D. Yes, since they help to absorb the impact of a collision and keep the occupants safe

Answer: Option D

Solution (By Examveda Team)

In automobiles, a bumper is the front-most or rearmost part, ostensibly designed to allow the car to sustain an impact without damage to the vehicle’s safety systems. They are not capable of reducing injury to vehicle occupants in high-speed impacts, but are increasingly being designed to mitigate injury to pedestrians struck by cars.
