B
to support research initiatives that find new ways to be safe
C
to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians on roadways

to uphold weapons restrictions only for people using them at home

Explanation

Governments create laws to protect people from preventable injuries in shared spaces. Roadway rules, such as speed limits and crosswalk laws, help keep both drivers and pedestrians safe. The other choices describe narrower or inaccurate purposes; for example, laws are not meant to uphold weapons restrictions only when weapons are used at home.
