Answer options
- ATry to get the weapon away from the student
- BCooperate and drive where the student demands Correct
- CExplain that you have no permission to leave the route
Why

While driving, talk calmly to ease the tension, and do not let the hijacker see you trying to contact dispatch or the police.
