Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Reduce speed as there may be loose gravel or mud on the road..
Where earth-moving machinery is working; there are likely to be mud and gravel deposits on the road. Also the noise of such machines might make it hard for road workers to hear the approaching traffic. When you come across earth-moving machinery; slow down and proceed with extreme caution.
