Correct!

Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.

Correct answer to question 347 (General Knowledge): That firm, steady pressure on the pedal does not cause the pedal to slowly sink further

Why

If the brake pedal slowly sinks under steady pressure, it can indicate a leak or other problem in the system, so checking that the pedal holds firm is part of the pre-trip brake check.
