Answer
A
Drivers cannot see something that happens in front of them because it happens too quickly.
B
Drivers cannot see because they are too busy doing something else.
C
A person takes his or her eyes off the road while doing another task.
D
The brain cannot process what is seen because a person is too distracted by something else.

Explanation

Inattentional blindness happens when someone’s attention is focused elsewhere, so the brain fails to notice or process something that is visible. Choice D describes this: the brain cannot process what is seen because the person is distracted by something else. Taking one’s eyes off the road, as in choice C, is different because it involves not looking at the scene.
