Answer: (D)

Turning smoothly comes from a deliberate, phased approach that prioritizes control and the rider’s vision. Start by slowing down before you enter the turn so you’re not carrying excessive speed into the corner. Then fix your eyes on the path you want to take—the direction you want to go—so your body naturally follows a safe line. After you’ve set your speed and line, begin the lean by rolling the throttle to maintain a steady pace through the bend. Finally, apply gentle pressure on the inside handlebar to steer into the turn and complete the arc. Keeping your head up, using a steady throttle, and coordinating the hand pressure to steer helps you stay balanced and maintain traction throughout the turn.
