Correct answer: It is hazardous and should be avoided.
Answer options
- AIt is hazardous and should be avoided Correct
- BIt is slow but perfectly safe

Why
Because the driver's view behind a school bus is limited, reversing greatly increases the chance of striking a person or object. Back up only when there is no other safe way to move the bus, and never while students are outside it.
