- D.Carry it in your arms while riding
Correct answer
A. Keep the load low, centered, and securely fastened, and check that it does not interfere with controls or lights
Why
Cargo should be kept low and close to the motorcycle's center, secured with proper fasteners so it cannot shift or fall. A shifting or loose load can upset balance and interfere with the wheels, chain, or controls.
