Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.

Correct answer to question 62 (General Knowledge): Increase your following distance ahead so you can slow down more gradually if needed

Why

You can't control the tailgater's distance, but increasing your own following distance ahead lets you slow down gradually instead of braking hard, which reduces the chance of being rear-ended.
