Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 89 (School Bus): The area around the bus where children are most at risk of being struck, which extends widely in front due to the driver's blind spot there
Why
The danger zone surrounds the bus on all sides, but the area in front is especially critical because the hood and mirrors create a blind spot where a child close to the bus may not be visible to the driver.
