Answer :

The practice of taking your foot off the gas pedal and hovering it over the brake is called: c. covering the brake.

The practice of taking your foot off the gas pedal and hovering it over the brake is called covering the brake. This technique allows the driver to reduce reaction time in case they need to brake suddenly, as their foot is already positioned near the brake pedal.

It is a defensive driving technique taught to help drivers respond quickly to potential hazards on the road.
