Correct answer: Report it to the police and/or DMV, as your state requires.
Answer options

- BReport it to the police and/or DMV, as your state requires Correct
- CReport it only if you will file an insurance claim
Why
States require you to report a crash that causes injury, death or serious property damage, usually to the police, the DMV or both. Which crashes count, the deadline and the agency vary by state, and the duty applies whether or not anyone makes an insurance claim; calling the highway department does not meet it.
