Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Children's recklessness, their lack of knowledge of the rules, and their limitations in sight and hearing.
Reckless behavior and lack of knowledge of the rules increase children's risk of being struck by a vehicle. Their visual and hearing limitations also make it harder for them to perceive traffic hazards correctly.
