C)at the end of the school day.Correct
The main causes of pedestrian accidents involving children are:
- Their visual field is limited due to their short stature.
- Hearing problems (children under 7 years old are unable to locate the direction of a vehicle by its sound).
- Poor attention control (they are busy playing).
- They tend to confuse seeing with being seen.
- They are unaware of the regulations (appropriate signs and behaviours).
At the end of the school day they come out more agitated, eager to run, play, etc., and do not pay as much attention.
