Which footwear gives a motorcyclist the most protection?
Correct answer: Boots made of leather.
Answer options
- ALightweight canvas sneakers
- BOpen-toed summer sandals

Why
Leather boots that rise above the ankle give support and resist scraping, and their firm soles grip both the pavement and the foot controls. Sneakers and sandals leave the feet and ankles exposed to burns from the exhaust and to injury in a fall.
